Hi,
I just ran into the folowing problem when building a kernel.
This is the first time I build a MIPS kernel, and so I may
be making mistakes. Here's what I found:
When building the kernel, the linker chokes on
arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s, because it contains
OUTPUT_ARCH(mips)
ENTRY(kernel_entry)
jiffies = jiffies_64 + 4;
SECTIONS
{
. = ;
*** ^ ***
This has been generated from arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S,
which contains
. = LOADADDR;
which is in turn generated from arch/mips/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.s.cmd,
which contains
cmd_arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s := mips-linux-gcc -E
-Wp,-MD,arch/mips/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.s.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include
-D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -D__ASSEMBLY__ -I
/home/GERMANY/tkoeller/mips-linux/build/linux/include/asm/gcc -G 0

-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D"LOADADDR=" -D"JIFFIES=jiffies_64 + 4" -imacros
/home/GERMANY/tkoeller/mips-linux/build/linux/include/asm-mips/sn/mapped_kernel.h
-P -C -Umips -o arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.s
arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
in line #1. The -D"LOADADDR=" looks suspicious, but I
have not been able to trace the problem beyond this point.
Can anybody help out?
