Thanks to your and Henrik's advice I am almost done with uplevelling it to gcc 4.5 from rawhide. I found that binutils already had almost the same patch, and I just focused on gcc with glibc. After some hours of wrestling the set of packages is generated and it upgrades the 4.1 packages without any conflicts with that or native gcc install. I am able to compile an ARM kernel with it OK, which worked perfectly in a target device, so I thought I was done. But I thought I should check a hello world c app just as a userspace build sanity check... $ armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello.c /usr/bin/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc /usr/bin/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld: cannot find -lgcc /usr/bin/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.0/libgcc.a when searching for libgcc.a /usr/bin/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld: cannot find libgcc.a collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If I compile with -c, then use armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld directly on hello.o, I get the same problem. Looking at the contents of /usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.0/libgcc.a, I see this: __gcc_bcmp.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped __main.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped _absvdi2.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped ... _thumb1_case_sqi.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped _thumb1_case_uhi.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped ... unorddf2.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), stripped unordsf2.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), stripped They all look reasonable except --> _thumb1_case_sqi.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped After some Googling, I found a site that recommended disabling strip in rpmbuild, I did this and confirmed that all the objects then show "not stripped", but it didn't solve the issue. I guess the problem is _thumb1_case_sqi.o header but I don't know why... any ideas? -Andy _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
