hello,
Has anyone tried to compile the latest kernel from cvs with the codesourcery
gnu arm toolchain.
I have downloaded the their latest toolchain - 2006q1-6 release which
highlights the following :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrade to GCC 4.1
The 2006Q1 release is based on GCC 4.1.0.
Support for ARM V7, including Cortex-M3
This release supports the ARM V7 architecture, including the Cortex-M3
core. Pure Thumb-2 runtime libraries are included for execution on ARM V7
CPUs that do not support the ARM operating mode.
Support for Neon and VFPV3
The GNU assembler now supports the Neon and VFPV3 instruction sets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the toolchain is named arm-none-eabi- . I changed the head Makefile in the
kernel source tree to reflect the change in the toolchain name and that is
the only place i made this change.
I turned on EABI support in the kernel and tried to build the kernel. It
builds zImage but segfaults while making modules. Specifically is segfaults
on modpost. I have attached an error log. Please let me know if I have missed
anything or am doing something wrong?
I tried to build the kernel with make hx4700_defconfig and then added EABI
support and removed coda FS module support (since it was also breaking the
compile).
Thanks in advance.
PS: kernel was checkout out Today, one hour back.
