2.6: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff

2.6: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff

[Maciej Soltysiak]

Hi,

during make bzImage on 2.6 I notoriously get this warning:

[exerpt]
  LD      vmlinux
  AS      arch/i386/boot/setup.o
arch/i386/boot/setup.S: Assembler messages:
arch/i386/boot/setup.S:165: Warning: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff
  LD      arch/i386/boot/setup
  OBJCOPY arch/i386/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
[eo exerpt]

I have been browsing through the archives and I got the feeling
that this has been already been approached. But I am getting this
since I ever tried 2.5 (about 2.5.53). By 2.6.0-test9-bk11 it is
still there. I have been compiling on 2 different machines. I have
their specs.

Is there anything I could supply to try to resolve this?

Maybe it's no biggy.

Regards,
Maciej

What version of the tools you're using to compile it, maybe?  (Distro, gcc 
version, binutils version, etc...  And if it's a non-intel system or 
cross-compiling or something, that might be good to mention too...)

I have seen this for along time with debian testing, on intel.
I use gcc 3.3.2,
binutils: 2.14.90.0.6-5
I had the impressien that it doesn't matter, because it is
truncated to the same value.  I.e. no change, only a strange message?

Sorry for the delay.
The same here as for gcc and binutils.
I will try compiling with gcc 2.95.4.

I did the recompile on 2.6.0test9-bk16 and haven't seen that message now
both with gcc 2.95 and 3.3.2

It is gone.

No it is not! I did the wrong thing this morning.
It is still there with gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.3.2 with all 2.6 i've ever used.
Even with 2.6.0-test9-bk17

What other relevant information can I supply?
