It seems linux-next is using an older (4.3.3) gcc because if we use a newer one we get several errors like the on in $subject. In http://marc.info/?l=linux-arch&m=133580603202270&w=2 Matt explained that it was due to the kernel being to big to fit be compiled with -msmall-data. I was wondering if there is any possibility of correcting that? I'm about to build anew batch of 4.8.0 compilers and it'd be nice if I could compile an alpha kernel :) Yours Tony [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 836 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

That will fix the relocation errors for those using recent gcc compilers. Cheers Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
