Hi, I tried to compile Linux-2.6.18.8 for MIPS24KE processor using cross-compiler built from gcc-4.2.1, binutils-2.17 and uClibc-0.9.27. But, the compilation failed with below error message ("mips-linux-ld: final link failed: Bad value"): ================================ mips-linux-gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/mtd/.mtd_blkdevs.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /home/ sedara/BETA_REL/buildroot/build_mips_nofpu/staging_dir/lib/gcc/mips-linux-uclibc/4.2.1/include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -include include/linux/autoconf.h -DNEW_C ONFIG -I/home/sedara/BETA_REL/linux-2.6.18/include -I/home/sedara/BETA_REL/linux -2.6.18/../fusiv_src/kernel/ap_code -I/home/sedara/BETA_REL/linux-2.6.18/../fusi v_src/kernel/ap_code/inc -I/home/sedara/BETA_REL/linux-2.6.18/../fusiv_src/kerne l/drivers/inc -I/home/sedara/BETA_REL/linux-2.6.18/../fusiv_src/kernel/drivers/a dsl -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -O 2 -mabi=32 -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -pipe -msoft-float -ffreestanding -marc h=mips32r2 -Wa,-mips32r2 -Wa,--trap -Iinclude/asm-mips/mach-ikan_mips -Iinclude/ asm-mips/mach-generic -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector -Wdeclaration-a fter-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" -D"KBUILD_BASENAME=KBUI LD_STR(mtd_blkdevs)" -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(mtd_blkdevs)" -c -o drivers/m td/.tmp_mtd_blkdevs.o drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c mips-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 ===================================== has anybody faced similar problem?
