Quick followup: tried another "from scratch" build with a stable compilation environment. No difference. Current gcc and binutils versions are as follows: gcc version 6.2.1 20161212 (Debian 6.2.1-6) GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.27.51.20161212 As always, thanks in advance for any help in resolving this. --Bob On Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 08:07:10AM -0600, Bob Tracy wrote: > Got all the way to the end of the 4.9-final kernel build, and ran into the > following: > > LD init/built-in.o > arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strcat.o): In function `strcat': > (.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxcpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(stxcpy.o) > arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strncat.o): In function `strncat': > (.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxncpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(stxncpy.o) > Makefile:969: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed > make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
