This is a know bug with binutils 2.16.1. You can work around it by either reverting commit 549e8152de8039506f69c677a4546e5427aa6ae7 or upgrading to a newer version of binutils. Nobody has a fix for this problem yet. (it's definitely a binutils bug, but the kernel exposed it where it wasn't an issue before. I don't know if support for 2.16.1 is going to be depreciated due to this. It seems like there are still a fair few users of binutils 2.16.1) g. > > Thanks, > > Chris > > > LD vmlinux.o > MODPOST vmlinux.o > WARNING: modpost: Found 4 section mismatch(es). > To see full details build your kernel with: > 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' > GEN .version > CHK include/linux/compile.h > UPD include/linux/compile.h > CC init/version.o > LD init/built-in.o > LD .tmp_vmlinux1 > /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: > > BFD 2.16.1 internal error, aborting at > /home/cfriesen/crosstool-0.43/build/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.3.6/binutils-2.16.1/bfd/elflink.c > > line 6419 in elf_link_output_extsym > > /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: > > Please report this bug. > > make[1]: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 > make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 > > -- > 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/ _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
