compile error with 2.6.0-test6 on ppc32
hi,
upon compiling kernel 2.6.0-test6 on my PowerPC 604r machine (PReP), i got the following error:
evil@sheep:/usr/src/linux-2.6$ make bzImage modules make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date. CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S AS .tmp_kallsyms1.o LD .tmp_vmlinux2 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.S AS .tmp_kallsyms2.o LD vmlinux AS arch/ppc/boot/common//util.o arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S: Assembler messages: arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:220: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .relocate_code arch/ppc/boot/common//util.o: File truncated arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:281: FATAL: Can't write arch/ppc/boot/common//util.o: File truncated make[2]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/common//util.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/common/] Error 2 make: *** [zImage] Error 2 evil@sheep:/usr/src/linux-2.6$ cp .config ~/
(the compile-process was about to finish last time, then i got this very
same error, but could not save it. now calling "make bzImage" has a very less to re-compile, hence the few messages. oh, yes: i *do* have write permission to [arch/ppc/boot/common//util.o] )
i tried with:
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20030908 (Debian prerelease) GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.6 20030820 Debian GNU/Linux GNU Make 3.80
distribution is Debian GNU/Linux (unstable)
my config is on:
http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/ppc/.config
i can compile 2.4 kernels very well with the same utils.
Thank you,
Christian.

That's a regression in binutils. Debian/unstable fixed it in version 2.14.90.0.6-3.

indeed! i just have to update *even more* often :-)
hm, the term "regression" is only known to me from mathematics, but i don't know how this could be related to compiling issues....
Thank you, 2.6.0-test6 is compiling now.

Or less often. :-/

It's a fairly standard term. Basically, it means that some feature (interpreted broadly, e.g. "compiles this piece of code correctly") worked in version X but fails to do so due to a bug (as opposed to a feature change or removal) in version Y, where Y>X. Most often, the first step of fixing the problem is increasing X or decreasing Y successively so that X==Y-1.

You're welcome.
