I've got a netwinder here running debian linux and I have been having significant troubles trying to get a kernel to compile. I am using 2.4.19 with the rmk4 patch and the rmk2-nw2 (netwinder patch by ralphs) and both are giving me the same error. I tried this on debian stable and debian unstable (two different gcc/glibc versions) with no different results.
make zImage goes on merrily away until I get an error as follows. entry-armv.S: Assembler messages: entry-armv.S:837: Error: invalid constant (fffffb1c) after fixup entry-armv.S:837: Error: internal relocation (type: IMMEDIATE) not fixed up I have compiled a 2.4.18 kernel for the netwinder before, successfully I might add. If anyone can give me any idea about what is wrong here, I would appreciate it as I would like to use this box as my main router for my network as this lack of kernel is a major roadblock at this time.
