No it's not, relax. :) That message always appears for undefined references. IIRC the linker sets them to some magic value which doesn't fit into an R_PPC_REL24 relocation. It's really a configuration error or kernel bug, maybe still missing PPC bits. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
