Hi, for 2.6 kernels, arch/mips/Makefile contains the following lines: ifdef CONFIG_MIPS64 gcc-abi = 64 gas-abi = 32 tool-prefix = $(64bit-tool-prefix) UTS_MACHINE := mips64 endif Is it intentional that gcc-abi and gas-abi are different? This results in '-Wa,-32' appearing on gcc's command line, causing the asembler to complain: Error: -mgp64 used with a 32-bit ABI If I change gas-abi to 64, this error goes away. tk -- -------------------------------------------------- Thomas Koeller, Software Development Basler Vision Technologies thomas dot koeller at baslerweb dot com http://www.baslerweb.com ==============================
