Hi,
I just ran into the folowing problem when building a kernel.
This is the first time I build a MIPS kernel, and so I may
be making mistakes. Here's what I found:
When building the kernel, the linker chokes on
arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s, because it contains
OUTPUT_ARCH(mips)
ENTRY(kernel_entry)
jiffies = jiffies_64 + 4;
SECTIONS
{
. = ;
*** ^ ***
This has been generated from arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S,
which contains
. = LOADADDR;
which is in turn generated from arch/mips/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.s.cmd,
which contains
cmd_arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s := mips-linux-gcc -E -Wp,-MD,arch/mips/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.s.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -D__ASSEMBLY__ -I /home/GERMANY/tkoeller/mips-linux/build/linux/include/asm/gcc -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -pipe -finline-limit=100000 -mabi=32 -march=r5000 -Wa,-32 -Wa,-march=r5000 -Wa,-mips4 -Wa,--trap -Iinclude/asm-mips/mach-generic -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -I /home/GERMANY/tkoeller/mips-linux/build/linux/include/asm/gcc -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -pipe -finline-limit=100000 -mabi=32 -march=r5000 -Wa,-32 -Wa,-march=r5000 -Wa,-mips4 -Wa,--trap -Iinclude/asm-mips/mach-generic -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D"LOADADDR=" -D"JIFFIES=jiffies_64 + 4" -imacros /home/GERMANY/tkoeller/mips-linux/build/linux/include/asm-mips/sn/mapped_kernel.h -P -C -Umips -o arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
in line #1. The -D"LOADADDR=" looks suspicious, but I
have not been able to trace the problem beyond this point.
Can anybody help out?
