I have cross-compiler build in this way: (cross-compiled binutils-2.19 was already installed in /home/guest/cross-compiler/mips/ ) export PATH="${PATH}":/home/guest/cross-compiler/mips/bin mkdir build-gcc-bootstrap cd build-gcc-bootstrap/ .../gcc-svn/./configure --target=mips-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/guest/cross-compiler/mips --enable-languages=c --without-headers --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --disable-shared --disable-threads --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp make all-gcc install-gcc (gcc rev. r144149) Then i have linux kernel from kernel.org main git tree, up to commit 37bed90094fdb1eea6e4afec6a200d4e60143e55 (Date: Thu Feb 12 17:47:15 2009 -0800 Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6) -rc5 already released, but i see only sound fixes there ... after trying make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- menuconfig make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- i got this error: CC init/version.o CC init/do_mounts.o CC init/do_mounts_rd.o CC init/do_mounts_initrd.o LD init/mounts.o CC init/initramfs.o CC init/calibrate.o LD init/built-in.o HOSTCC usr/gen_init_cpio GEN usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz AS usr/initramfs_data.o LD usr/built-in.o CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-berr.o CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-irq.o CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-platform.o CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-setup.o CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.c: Â ôóíêöèè 'debounce': arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.c:97: îøèáêà: 'reg_a' is used uninitialized in this function make[1]: *** [arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.o] Îøèáêà 1 make: *** [arch/mips/sgi-ip32] Îøèáêà 2 and restart make with with LANG=C give this guest@slax:/mnt/hdb1/src/linux-git/linux-2.6$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-mips Checking missing-syscalls for O32 CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/linux/compile.h CC arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.c: In function 'debounce': arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.c:97: error: 'reg_a' is used uninitialized in this function make[1]: *** [arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-reset.o] Error 1 make: *** [arch/mips/sgi-ip32] Error 2 Is this known error? Or I should downgrade toolchain/kernel? i actually have SGI o2 hardware now, but my SGI machine only run standalone so far, i was played with dvhtools/genisoimage and slightly older self-compiled kernel, without any luck. Should putting kernel in fake volume header work at all on CD-ROM?
