[parisc-linux] Linker question....

[Ryan Bradetich]

Ok,

I've almost got the linux kernel to build on my linux box using the
cross-compiler rpms bits from puffin.external.hp.com.

I've  spent a good portion of the day searching the archives on how to
address this problem, and the theme I've discovered is the kernel needs
to be compiled/linked under HP-UX?

I just wanted to verify this assertion before I installed the tools on
the C200.

Thanks,
-Ryan


PS.  This is the error I get using the egcs cross-compiler.

That is correct.  There is no cross-linker support for the SOM format.  The
elf tools are in progress, but not ready for use.
