Cross compiling kernel (any recent version) on any non-64bit host (ie: x86) to ALPHA the "make bootpfile" step fails. The problem is localized to arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip.c Various 'elf' structure members are 64 bit, not 32bit and the wrong version of the structure is being choosen. (To bad you can't use the binutils library here!) I have hand coded around this, and can easily produce bootp files. I would like to submit patches but my change/hack is not real pretty. There are other issues associated with cross compiling this file, who is an appropriate person reguarding alpha specific items such as these? if you wish to disucuss this off-list, email duane_ellis _AT_ franklin.com -Duane - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
