Subject: [U-Boot-Users] [PPCBoot-users] Using gcc-3.4 to compile u-boot on powerpc
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2003 12:06:53 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <30366.1056334013@ull> (raw)
Hi All, a small but important thing... I am using the latest gcc from cvs
(3.4 20030608 (experimental)) and if you build the cross compiler for a
powerpc/linux target, it leaves out the "fixup" stuff for the "-mrelocatable"
command line option. If you then want to use that cross compiler to build
"u-boot", it stuffs up with messages from the Assembler that looks something
like this (on certain C files):
... Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable
Since "-mrelocatable" is usually not used for Linux programs, I can't see why
they did this. Rather than have two different cross compilers, one for linux
and one for "other", which you use to compile u-boot, I chose a simple fix -
patch the file "gcc/config/rs6000/linux.h" as follows:
--- linux.h 2003/06/13 16:41:53 1.3
+++ linux.h 2003/06/20 01:28:53
@@ -84,7 +84,8 @@
#define TARGET_64BIT 0
/* We don't need to generate entries in .fixup. */
-#undef RELOCATABLE_NEEDS_FIXUP
+/* well I do need them! */
+#define RELOCATABLE_NEEDS_FIXUP
#define TARGET_ASM_FILE_END file_end_indicate_exec_stack
Hope this helps someone. Cheers!
Murray...
