With adding a --enable-language=c it works. So the configure line I used is: ../gcc-4.4.4/configure --target=mips64-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/var/samba/mips --disable-threads --disable-shared --disable-multilib --disable-libgcc --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libgomp --enable-languages=c > make ARCH=mips cavium-octeon_defconfig > make ARCH=mips > CROSS_COMPILE=/work/tmp/zoo/bin/mips64-unknown-linux-gnu- vmlinux > > Hope that helps. > It helped me a lot, thank you. The kernel compiles fine. The kernel is very huge: 39MBytes (!). After a mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-strip, it downsized to 3.3MBytes. But that kernel doesn't boot. The system in the board I have uses in U-boot: ext2load ide 0 4000000 vmlinux bootoctlinux 4000000 (other args..) But when I replace the vmlinux file with mine called 'mips', it says: RSEC-K1# ext2load ide 0 4000000 mips 3362840 bytes read WARNING: Data loaded outside of the reserved load area, memory corruption may occur. WARNING: Please refer to the bootloader memory map documentation for more information. RSEC-K1# bootoctlinux 4000000 ELF file is 64 bit Attempting to allocate memory for ELF segment: addr: 0xffffffff81100000 (adjusted to: 0x0000000001100000), size 0x355c00 Allocated memory for ELF segment: addr: 0xffffffff81100000, size 0x355c00 Attempting to allocate memory for ELF segment: addr: 0xffffffff81343da0 (adjusted to: 0x0000000001343da0), size 0x24 Error allocating memory for elf image! ## ERROR loading File! RSEC-K1# I tried a lot of different numbers like 2000000 or greater, depending of what I find in mailing lists, but I don't find the right value. Is there a way to compute it, or it's kernel I made that is not right?
