So it looks as if gcc 4.2.2 is broken for kernel builds resulting in the
following error message with binutils 2.18:
CC drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o
mipsel-linux-ld: drivers/mtd/.tmp_mtd_blkdevs.o: Can't find matching LO16 reloc against `$LC6' for R_MIPS_HI16 at 0x9e0 in section `.text'
CC drivers/mtd/chips/chipreg.o
Older binutils throw a more cryptic error message about the bad assembler
code generated by gcc:
CC drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o
mipsel-linux-ld: final link failed: Bad value
make[2]: *** [drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/mtd] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
Just as heads up ...
Could you file a bug report here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/
If you could include a pointer to the kernel sources you were using and
perhaps attach your .config to the bug that might be useful as well.
Thanks,
