Does anyone have any ideas why the i386->mipsel cross toolchain at
oss.sgi.com:/pub/linux/redhat/7.1/RPMS/i386/toolchain* fails to build
vgacon.o in the kernel's drivers/video directory?
I get the following errors from the assembler:
{standard input}:4683: Error: expression too complex
{standard input}:4683: Fatal error: internal Error, line 1980,
../../tools-20011020/gas/config/tc-mips.c
make[3]: *** [vgacon.o] Error 1
Apparently the compiler has generated assembly which the assembler cannot
handle.
I compiled to a .s assembly file and line 4683 was simply 'sb $6,$5($3)'.
Thanks,
Roger

If you search the list archives, I've posted patches for this several
times. It's a compiler bug but can be worked around in io.h. $5($3)
is not a legal addressing mode.

The current kernel source has replaced the inline assembler functions in
include/asm-mips/io.h thus this is no longer necessary.
