Hi, I'm having problems trying to compile a 2.4.20 UML kernel. In particular, I'm using the vanilla (i.e., kernel.org) 2.4.20 sources, patches with uml-patch-2.4.20-4 (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml-patch-2.4.20-4.bz2?modtime=1051142400&big_mirror=1). I've tried also with uml-patch-2.4.20-8, with the same results.
The procedure I've followed is the conventional one: - Uncompress and patch: # tar xfvj linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 # cd linux-2.4.20 # patch -p1 < ../uml-patch-2.4.20-4 - Make the .config file (from the UML pre-compiled kernel 2.4.19-um5, downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/linux-2.4.19-5.bz2). I've also tried a clean "make menuconfig ARCH=um" but the results are the same. # ../linux-2.4.19-5 --showconfig > .config # make oldconfig ARCH=um (answering always with the option by default) - Create dependencies: # make dep ARCH=um - The problem happens when I tried to compile: # make ARCH=um gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c scripts/split-include include/linux/autoconf.h include/config gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -U__i386__ -Ui386 -DUM_FASTCALL -D__arch_um__ -DSUBARCH=\"i386\" -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/um/include -Derrno=kernel_errno -I/usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/arch/um/kernel/tt/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=main -c -o init/main.o init/main.c In file included from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/ptrace.h:24, from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/binfmts.h:4, from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/sched.h:9, from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/mm.h:4, from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/slab.h:14, from /usr/local/src/linux-2.4.20/include/linux/proc_fs.h:5, from init/main.c:15: /usr/include/asm/ptrace.h:9:4: warning: #warning This machine appears to be neither x86_64 nor i386.

I understand that this file is created by "make dep ARCH=um" (or maybe "make (menu|old)config ARCH=um"?), so something should be wrong with the Makefiles... The details of the host system where I'm trying to compile follows: - Debian 4.0 with 2.6.18-6-686 kernel - Gcc 4.1.2 20061115 I've googled to see some similar reports regarding 2.5.42 and some patches intended to solve the problem (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-41/0285.html). I've tried with those patches, but they don't seem to work with 2.4.20. Any suggestion/idea/help to solve the problem or further debug is really welcome, please. Thank in advance! Best regards, ------ FermÃn PD. You may wonder why I'm compiling so ancient kernel :) The reason is that I'm trying to reproduce the ptrace vulnerability in a security testbed, so using a newer version (the vulnerability was fix in 2.4.21) is not an option... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
