Re: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12 - during buildkernel on amd64

2010-08-29 Thread Matthew Dillon
The build system is a bit convoluted with regards to cross-building.
x86_64 can't build i386 binaries with the standard make lines for
the same reason that i386 can't build x86_64 with the standard make
line.

All the information needed is in the configuration files but the
make system doesn't deal with it properly because it really has
to re-exec itself with the proper make line (for each target).

An example of working cross-build parameters can be found in e.g.
/usr/src/test/x86_64/Makefile (for i386 cross building x86_64).

I've never tried x86_64 cross-building to i386 though.

PCS is a port-change signal, it would not be signaling that unless
there was a problem with the PHY or connector.  Do you have a
loose connection somewhere?  It is also possible to get it if
the hard drive power cycles.

Hi guys,

I wanted to see if there is a PR team in Dragonfly BSD I could get in touch
with. I host "The BSD Show!"[1] and I'm looking for somebody willing to
introduce the project and promote any upcoming release.

Cheers,
