[Bug 954] New: link failure for arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o, function mem_pieces_find

[Martin J. Bligh]

http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=954

           Summary: link failure for arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o, function
                    mem_pieces_find
    Kernel Version: 2.6.0-test1 + cset-20030717_2009
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
             Owner: bugme-janitors@lists.osdl.org
         Submitter: barryn@pobox.com


Distribution: Gentoo
Hardware Environment: 400MHz Apple PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics model)
Software Environment: gcc 2.95.3, binutils 2.12.90.0.7 20020423
Problem Description:
When I try to compile linux-2.6.0-test1 + the cset-20030719_2009 patch (i.e.,
the latest BitKeeper snapshot on kernel.org as of this writing), I get this
compile error:
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o: In function `mem_pieces_find':
arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x8f8): undefined reference to `__va'
arch/ppc/mm/built-in.o(.init.text+0x8f8): relocation truncated to fit:
R_PPC_REL24 __va
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/testing/cset/cset-20030717_2009.txt.gz
and apply it to linux-2.6.0-test1.

2. Configure it and try to build it.

Does this one-line patch helps ?

This appears to do the job, yes.
