linux kernel for ppc as elf relocatable
Can somebody help me with a few indications regarding how to obtain a relocatable vmlinux when compiling the linux kernel for ppc32 ?
For powerpc, by default, the building process results in an ELF 32-bit MSB executable statically linked. I saw that for other architectures it builds, by default, a relocatable elf file.
Why is it statically linked for some architectures and relocatable for others ? How to make it relocatable for ppc32? I assume that changing LDFLAGS_vmlinux to '-r' in the Makefile for ppc is not enough... (i'm using 2.6.11)
p.s. any comments/answers to my posting, please add me in CC, as i didn't subscribe, thank you.

Why exactly would you want to do that?
