Linux-MIPS kernel cross compilation on X86 pentium machine

[Kossay Omary <kossay@galileo.co.il>]

Hi All

i'm trying to compile limux-mips kernel using a cross compiler
ver 2.7.2 ; and I get the following error msg :

.previous without corresponding .section

It appears when i try to compile a file that includes asm.h which is in
include/asm-mips/ .
there is a problematic section in asm.h which is :

#define TEXT(msg)
               .data;
8:            .asciiz msg;
              .previous;



please help me out

Also, did any of you develop MIPS kernel stuff using an X86 machine, I
would like to hear about the best and easiest way to do so...

thanx
