Until I read this I never realized I could compile the newer kernels without
upgrading to the 4.0/ELF stuff. So over X-mas I decided to give it a try:
untarred 2.0.18, patched axp-diffs 2.0.18, remove -warn-multiple-gp from
Makefile
make mrproper
make config
make dep
make clean
make boot
..... compiles as a whistle, boots without a problem
then tried 2.0.27, with axp-diffs 2.0.21
..... compiles as a whistle, boots without a problem
next step, more daring, with 2.1.17: no axp-diffs, just set ARCH=alpha in
Makefile
this fails compiling printk.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:179: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.section'
{standard input}:266: Error: Unknown pseudo-op: `.section'
Funny thing is, the assembler seems to stumble over something it's companion
compiler made up: there's no ".section" in the source.
Am I missing some patches, or do the 2.1.xx kernels need a more recent
compiler ? (everything other than the kernel is standard RedHat 3.0.3)
(pre-someting-2.1.18 patches don't help)
Any ideas ?
Groeten,
Geerten.
