I've been using your old October toolchain-20011020-* quite happily. So foolishly, I upgraded to this new toolchain*rpm for mipsel on i386. When building a linux-mips.sourceforge.net -based kernel, if I include CONFIG_PCI in the configuration, I get: ... mipsel-linux-ld -G 0 -static -T arch/mips/ld.script.0x80002000 arch/mips/kernel/head.o arch/mips/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \ --start-group \ arch/mips/kernel/kernel.o arch/mips/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o arch/mips/math-emu/fpu_emulator.o arch/mips/ramdisk/ramdisk.o \ drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/mtd/mtdlink.o \ net/network.o \ arch/mips/lib/lib.a /home/espin/linux/lib/lib.a arch/mips/korva/korva.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux drivers/char/char.o(.data+0x3990): undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 If I don't include CONFIG_PCI the problem goes away. It also sometimes complained about symbols in drivers/net/net.o. I stumbled on: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200112/msg00768.html which says that Alan Cox came up with enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG as a workaround. Seems to work. :-/ Other useful suggestions found were to downgrade ones' binutils. :-) Geoff -- Geoffrey Espin espin@idiom.com --
