[Buildroot] telit_evk_pro3_defconfig fails to build

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello Fabio,

Back in 2013, you contributed telit_evk_pro3_defconfig to Buildroot.
Unfortunately, this defconfig no longer builds: the Linux kernel
version used is too old to build with gcc 5.x.

Do you still have access to this HW platform? If so, can you contribute
a patch to update the defconfig? If you're no longer interested by this
platform, we can also decide to remove its defconfig.

You can see the full build log at
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/pub/buildroot-defconfigs/telit_evk_pro3_defconfig.log.FAIL.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I will  try to make a patch to fix it.

Any news on this? You need to update barebox and move to kernel 3.18+
for compatibility
with gcc5.x or alternatively backport this commit (and any
dependencies):

    kernel: add support for gcc 5

    We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
    because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.

    Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
    no new code is added as of now.

    This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

Do you think you will manage to fix the build issue before the end of
January or should we remove the defconfig?

Hi Peter,
thanks for those suggestions,

I'm working to update the barebox and kernel right now, I should be
able to send a fixed version before the end of January.

I've already tried some updated kernels that support gcc 5 (3.10*,
.4.1.*, 4.4.*) but they don't boot anymore, I'm working to fix it.

I've also updated barebox but i've problems with the support for the
watchdog so i'm working to fix it.

Backporting the support for gcc 5 will be my last resort.

Thanks
