Build error at v2.6.33 of sh-2.6.git

Build error at v2.6.33 of sh-2.6.git

[Hitoshi Mitake]

Hi SuperH folks,

I'm working on porting new board support to sh.

And I suffered build error when building the branch
specified the tag v2.6.33 at
sh-2.6.git ( 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6.git;a=summary ).

Error message is like this:
% make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh-linux- arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh3/entry.o

...

arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh3/entry.S: Assembler messages:

...

But I'm suspecting that the problem is the version of my cross compiler 
for sh.
The version of it is 3.4.5, quite old.
-v output of my cross compiler is this:

% sh-linux-gcc -v

I obtained this cross compiler with this project: 
http://kegel.com/crosstool/

So I have a question, is there the de fact standard of corss compiler 
building kit for SuperH arch?
If there is, could you tell me?

Thanks,
	Hitoshi

I used to build cross compilers all the time. These days I use the
binary distribution provided by codesourcery.

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/editions.html

Not sure about the status of upstream gcc, binutils and gdb. If the
specific version of gcc that you are building with fails, please make
sure to upgrade to the latest version and try again. I've also heard
that debian should build fine on sh4, so I guess they have whatever
patches that are needed.

Codesourcery also provide sources if you are interested.

Cheers,

As Magnus pointed out, the CodeSourcery one is the officially recommended
one to use. Note that this problem you are having is an issue with old
binutils versions on 64-bit hosts, which has been corrected in newer
versions of binutils. You can find more info about it in the archives, or
just use a newer toolchain.

Thanks for your rapid and kind reply, Magnus, Conrad and Paul!

I'd like to test both of toolchain of codesourcery and debian package.
But I'm using Debian, so if debian package works fine, this will be
great help for me :)

Thanks a lot, folks!

I will update debian cross toolchain.
There is only a binary of the i386, but prepares amd64 now.
I upload it in the morning of tomorrow.

Hi Nobuhiro-san,

I tested your debian package of cross tool chain for amd64.
And it works fine! This is a very very big help!

Thanks for your great work!
