Hi Murray,

Is there a similar fix for gcc 3.0.4? 

Thanks, My Hong

Hi All, a small but important thing... I am using the latest gcc from cvs
(3.4 20030608 (experimental)) and if you build the cross compiler for a
powerpc/linux target, it leaves out the "fixup" stuff for the
"-mrelocatable"
command line option. If you then want to use that cross compiler to build
"u-boot", it stuffs up with messages from the Assembler that looks something
like this (on certain C files):

... Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable

Since "-mrelocatable" is usually not used for Linux programs, I can't see
why
they did this. Rather than have two different cross compilers, one for linux
and one for "other", which you use to compile u-boot, I chose a simple fix -
patch the file "gcc/config/rs6000/linux.h" as follows:

--- linux.h     2003/06/13 16:41:53     1.3
+++ linux.h     2003/06/20 01:28:53
@@ -84,7 +84,8 @@
 #define TARGET_64BIT 0
   
 /* We don't need to generate entries in .fixup.  */
-#undef RELOCATABLE_NEEDS_FIXUP
+/* well I do need them! */
+#define RELOCATABLE_NEEDS_FIXUP
  
 #define TARGET_ASM_FILE_END file_end_indicate_exec_stack

Hope this helps someone. Cheers!
        Murray...
