[Buildroot] Defconfigs failing to build with gcc 6.x

[Buildroot] Defconfigs failing to build with gcc 6.x

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

You are in charge of a defconfig that causes some build failures.

The defconfigs listed below still don't build with gcc 6.x. It is more
than time to fix those defconfigs: gcc 6.x has been around for a
while. If those defconfigs are not fixed in the very near future, we
will have to remove them. Usually, the fix is to upgrade the U-Boot
and/or Linux kernel version.

   interested. Fabio (Estevam): let me know if you're interested. If

Could you have a look at those issues ?

Thanks!

Sorry, unfortunately we no longer have the firefly board,
so we can't maintain it.

OK, then I'll send a patch to drop the defconfig, we'll see if anybody
complains.

I don't have access to this board, but I can try to bump the kernel to
4.15.7 and see if it builds fine.

I was not able to find a suitable defconfig for this board in mainline.

As I am not familiar with the PowerPC devices I don't think I will be
in a good position to maintain this defconfig.

So unless someone is interested in maintaining p1010rdb, I think we
can remove it.

Thanks

I'd be all for removing and replacing it with a config for p1025twr.
I can put together a patchset for that one and a t1040d4.

Removed p1010: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/881276/

I've started a p1025 board and it looks like it builds.  We'll see if
it boots tomorrow and I'll send the replacement.

If you don't have access to this board, and nobody else does, isn't it
better to simply drop the defconfig ?

Yes, agreed.

Matthew has sent a patch removing this defconfig:

OK, thanks. I have just submitted a patch to remove ci40_defconfig then.

Thanks!

Unfortunately a newer kernel doesn't boot and I don't have the time to
fix the issue.
If having a defconfig that doesn't build on gcc 6.x is unacceptable
feel free to remove it.

Well, we could revert to gcc 5.x, but that is only a temporary measure.
And if newer kernels don't work, it probably means that the platform is
not very popular/widely used, so perhaps having a defconfig for it
isn't that useful ?
