Hello Maintainers: After tried, I guess related binutils and gcc are not match with each other: gcc support "-minim" option which will pass to gas, but gas can not recognize it. With "-mno-minim" option, we can try to bypass this issue (I am just trying), but it seems not a quite good idea. Welcome any additional suggestions or completions for it, thanks. The related error with making manually ("make menuconfig; make" in root directory also get the same issue): /upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4-initial/./gcc/xgcc -B/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4-initial/./gcc/ -B/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/metag-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ -B/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/metag-buildroot-linux-uclibc/lib/ -isystem /upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/metag-buildroot-linux-uclibc/include -isystem /upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/metag-buildroot-linux-uclibc/sys-include -O2 -g -Os -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -isystem ./include -I. -I. -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4/gcc -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/. -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4 /gcc/../include -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/../libcpp/include -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/include -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/host/usr/include -I/upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/../libdecnumber -I../libdecnumber -g0 -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss -fno-toplevel-reorder -Dinhibit_libc -fPIC \ -c /upstream/src/metag/metag-buildroot-metag-core/output/toolchain/gcc-4.2.4/gcc/crtstuff.c -DCRT_END -DCRTSTUFFS_O \ -o crtendS.o Assembler messages: Error: unrecognized option -minim make[2]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
