[Buildroot] buildroot toolchain fails to build kernel: "ld: no machine record defined"

[Joe]

Hi all!

Today I tried to build a new kernel for my dev-board. Last time i did 
this was Nov 2007, when i also used a buildroot-created toolchain which 
worked absolutely fine. Today it compiles a lot, and then backs out with

"arm-linux-ld: no machine record defined" in the file .tmp_vmlinux1

After googling a lot, i found some messages including one by Russell 
King indicating that there is probably something wrong with the used 
binutils and that it should be reported to the binutils people. But 
because i used the buildroot chain, i thought i'd ask here first.
Tried combinations include gcc 4.2.1 and 4.1.2 as well as binutils 2.18 
and 2.17 on kernels 2.6.22.10 and 2.6.23.14. Every possible combination 
was given a try with the same results.

Are there any ideas on this?

Thanks for the quick reply, Bernhard.

Please find the buildroot and kernel configs attached, uclibc config is 
standard with buildroot latest revision for svn.

In the meantime i managed to find the old kernel config in our backups, 
and this kernel builds fine. So i'm guilty messing it up - shame on me! :-(

Nevertheless thanks a lot,
