[Buildroot] minnowboard_defconfig fails to build

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Ezequiel,

The minnowboard_defconfig fails to build (but minnowboard_max_defconfig
is OK), due to the use of a Linux kernel version that is too old to
build with gcc 5.x.

Do you have access to the Minnowboard (not MAX) ? If so, would you be
willing to look into this issue, and provide an updated defconfig ?

See the full build log at
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/pub/buildroot-defconfigs/minnowboard_defconfig.log.FAIL.

Thanks!

Thomas

No, I only have a Minnowboard Turbot, MAX compatible.

AFAIK, the reason to use the old Linux kernel is to have some
platform-specific GPIO keys,
that wasn't upstreamed at the time (maybe it is now, or maybe we need to be able
to have the acpi manipulation thing, don't really remember).

Peter and I discussed about this board having an old kernel. I think
we should just
move to upstream, but he'd rather stick with the old and support all
the hardware.

Maybe now we have no choice but upstream?
