There are a host of other sparc64 specific compiler options that must be present for a correct build as well. The only way to get it done correctly is to properly inherit the option settings made by arch/sparc/Makefile and friends in the kernel tree. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
