Problem with LinuxPPC Kernel 2.4.2 build

Problem with LinuxPPC Kernel 2.4.2 build

[Ken Offer]

Hi all,

I downloaded the latest kernel and attempted to build it (i.e.
ftp://ftp.fsmlabs.com/pub/linuxppc/linuxppc_2_4.snap.tar.bz2  20117 Kb
Tue Feb 27 06:07:00 2001).  After a while, along comes the curious
error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linuxppc_2_4_2/arch/ppc/coffboot'
gcc  -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__powerpc__  -c -o
coffcrt0.o coffcrt0.S
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__powerpc__ -O -fno-builtin
-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__powerpc__ ppc -c -o start.o
start.c
gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make[1]: *** [start.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linuxppc_2_4_2/arch/ppc/coffboot'
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

I am using gcc 2.95.3.  Should I be using another version of the
compiler that can handle the "-c" and "-S" options together, or is there
a bug in the Makefile?

It's not a gcc problem.  Maybe, wait a day or two and refetch the archive?

A Linux guru here found the problem (thanks Mike D.!!!).

And now for those searching the archives desperately for an answer:

If you run into the "gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple
compilations" error while building a kernel, the following might help.
The environment variable TARGET_ARCH might be set to "ppc" from a
previous build.  Doing an "unset TARGET_ARCH" cleared up the build
problem for me. :)
