I've built for MBX with almost the same, only binutils 2.9.5 instead of 2.10. > The kernel package I used is > > linux-2.2.17 > > I passed make xconfig, make dep, make clean, but got > the following error at make zImage: > > powerpc-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ > -I/home/compiler/sources/linux/include -Wall > -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer > -fno-strict-aliasing -D__powerpc__ -fsigned-char > -msoft-float -pipe -fno-builtin -ffixed-r2 > -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -mcpu=860 > -D__ASSEMBLY__ -c head.S -o head.o > head.S: Assembler messages: > head.S:1829: Error: unsupported relocation type > make[1]: *** [head.o] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory > `/home/compiler/sources/linux/arch/ppc/kernel' > make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc/kernel] Error 2 > > Could anyone give me any idea about where I was wrong? Looking at http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/ppc/kernel/head.S the problem is apparent: 255 #ifndef CONFIG_8xx 256 bl prom_init 257 .globl __secondary_start 258 __secondary_start: ... 1293 #ifndef CONFIG_8xx .. 1822 #else /* CONFIG_8xx */ 1823 .globl giveup_fpu 1824 giveup_fpu: 1825 blr 1826 #endif /* CONFIG_8xx */ 1827 1828 mmu_off: 1829 addi r4, r3, __secondary_start - _start 1830 mfmsr r3 __secondary_start is not defined for CONFIG_8xx. It looks like head.S changed a bit since 2.2.14, and I wouldn't know which way to go about fixing it, but I might suggest either backing down to 2.2.14 or jumping to 2.4.0-test2. The latest Monta Vista CDK (1.2) appears to include both, and last I tried their stuff worked quite well with little headaches - I'd recommend giving it a try, http://www.mvista.com/ ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/CDK/ -Jamie > > Thank you. > Yiran. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
