[U-Boot] error: Invalid register name for 'gd'

[Manoj Tiwary]

Hi all,

I am trying to cross-compile the U-boot on my Ubuntu  pc cloned from

git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

with gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabi compiler. But while
compiling I am getting following error:

./arch/arm/include/asm/global_data.h:110:58: error: invalid register name
for 'gd'
 #define DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR  register volatile gd_t *gd asm ("x18")
                                                          ^
cmd/bdinfo.c:14:1: note: in expansion of macro 'DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR'
 DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR;
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scripts/Makefile.build:278: recipe for target 'cmd/bdinfo.o' failed
make[1]: *** [cmd/bdinfo.o] Error 1
Makefile:1408: recipe for target 'cmd' failed
make: *** [cmd] Error 2

Suggest me a way to resolve this error.

Thanks & Regards,
Manoj
