I am trying to build 2.6.33-rc* for a 64-bit parisc machine (using kernel.package in Debian unstable if it matters). The build fails assembling any .ko files with objcopy: objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=/home/mroos/linux-2.6/debian/linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko /home/mroos/linux-2.6/debian/linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko objcopy:/home/mroos/linux-2.6/debian/linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc8-00173-g627fa17/kernel/drivers/cdrom/cdrom.ko: File format not recognized Trying hppa64-linux-gnu-objcopy by hand works - but we should be using this cross compile prefix automatically. We do have OBJDUMP = $(CROSS_COMPILE)objdump in main Makefile, and ifdef CONFIG_64BIT UTS_MACHINE := parisc64 CHECKFLAGS += -D__LP64__=1 -m64 WIDTH := 64 CROSS_COMPILE := hppa64-linux-gnu- else # 32-bit WIDTH := endif in arch/parisc/Makefile so it seems OK at the first glance. grep 64BIT .config tells CONFIG_64BIT=y CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT=y so this is correct too. However, I see no inclusion of arch-specific Makefile before the assignment of OBJCOPY in main Makefile. Could this be the problem? -- Meelis Roos (mroos@xxxxxxxx) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
