net-2.6 build error on powerpc

net-2.6 build error on powerpc

[Ron Mercer]

I recently grabbed the latest net-2.6 kernel for a powerpc test box and
got this compile error.

  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/align.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/pmc.o
  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.c:78: warning: alignment of
  âso_data_storeâs greater than maximum object file
  alignment.  Using 32768
  make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso.o] Error 1
  make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
  [root@localhost linux-2.6-net.git]#



  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

HI, Ron Mercer

In order to succeed in compiling, currently i comment out the line
that includes the option "Werror" in the file Makefile.

Similiar to :

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile b/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile
index b23664a..0c8a8b0 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile
+++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile
@@ -4,7 +4,7 @@

 CFLAGS_ptrace.o                += -DUTS_MACHINE='"$(UTS_MACHINE)"'

-subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_PPC_WERROR) := -Werror
+#subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_PPC_WERROR) := -Werror

 ifeq ($(CONFIG_PPC64),y)
 CFLAGS_prom_init.o     += -mno-minimal-toc

Can anyone let me know how to fix this issue thoroughly?


Cheers,

Zhiyong Wu
