Gross... yet ingenious. I see the problem. You want to use a 32-bit-pointer "la" for the addresses of static variables in the kernel build (which works, because the kernel is in the 32-bit-pointer-accessible 'kseg0'). The assembler macro was a very Linux solution, if you don't mind my saying so... A more native compiler fix would probably be a good idea. What ABI are you using for the 64-bit kernel build (n64? how do you get it to build non-PIC?) And what constraints are there on your choice of gcc version? - it would be easier if 3.4 was OK. -- Dominic Sweetman MIPS Technologies
