Bug#355252: [Fwd: Bug#355252: elilo: fails to work on ia32]
Right. I can build a working binary if I do two things: 1) Add -march=i386 to the gnu-efi and elilo builds 2) Use plain binutils-2.16.1, and not binutils-2.16.1cvs20060117 The first of these is easy, the second involves finding out what's broken in binutils. What fun. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sarge uses gnu-efi 3.0a and gcc-3.3 (I believe), with Sid using gnu-efi 3.0b and gcc-4.0. I've tried various combinations of Debian gcc and binutils, but haven't managed to produce a working binary yet. Scanning the Gentoo binutils and gcc patches doesn't show anything terribly obvious, so it sounds like tracking this down won't be terribly good fun. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, I believe that to be the case also. It's not clear from the bug report which toolchain Matthew is using. In Sarge, if gcc4 is used to compile elilo, I know it will fail on both ia32 and ia64 due to an older version of gnu-efi (3.0a). Etch and sid both have gnu-efi 3.0b, which should fix the problems with the gcc4 toolchain (and do, on ia64). I don't have an ia32 EFI machine, so have never tested the ia32 side (but it apparently works ok, since the gentoo build works, and some people have been booting their intelmac machines with it ;) I suspect a mismatch between gnu-efi versions and gcc versions... -- Brett Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
