You can look into kern/mips/dl.c of my mips branch for details. Similar approach can be used for powerpc. I suppose it would be a good idea to put this code to kern/got.c instead of kern/<arch>. But such a change just before release is too big. Since it correspond to a recent change in gcc behaviour perhaps an old behaviour can be restored with an option. > > I so re-try to build the deb pkg 1.97~beta3-1; too bad again this same > error??? > > Could it be so a gcc issue (debian build of 1.97~beta3-1 was with > gcc-4.4 4.4.1-3; here I rebuild with gcc-4.4 4.4.1-6 and even most > recent 4.4.2-1?) > > I so try to come back to gcc 4.3 and this time it build fine (not yet > tested if this one boot, sorry). > > Any idea? > > Tia, > j. > > ps: I also tried to test bean123 git branch (grab this Oct 19) but > this failed to build early to compile normal/main.c (gcc didn't find > some references to some grub_... struct and fnct) > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel >
