This patch does not set the UCLIBC_ARCH variable correctly on 32 bit; it needs to be forced to i386 there instead of $(TARGET_ARCH), which is i686 on my box. For 64 bit it's fine, because there the UCLIBC_ARCH variable needs to be x86_64 which happens to match $(TARGET_ARCH). Here's a simple fix for the m57sli board: --- config/platforms/m57sli.conf (revision 57) +++ config/platforms/m57sli.conf (working copy) @@ -6,8 +6,15 @@ STRIP=strip AS=as +ifeq ($(CONFIG_TARGET_64BIT),y) +TARGET_ARCH=x86_64 +UCLIBC_ARCH=x86_64 +CFLAGS_platform = +else TARGET_ARCH=i686 -CFLAGS_platform = -m32 +UCLIBC_ARCH=i386 +CFLAGS_platform = +endif Can you fix that for all boards? The other thing I was wondering about is why the exit -1 is dropped in buildrom-devel/bin/checkrom.sh when the image won't fit? It's nice for the build to fail explicitly if the image is too big instead of producing obscure linker errors further down the line. For the rest this looks good to me; your patch passed a build test here on 32 bit. We may want to add some warnings bout the LAB size issues when building on 64 bit. And I'm actually also a little curious why we are having problems there.
