I tried moving from sparc-sources to gentoo-sources however the kernel that results is not static, and thus elftoaout can not convert it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.build kernel 2. 3. Actual Results: # file vmlinux vmlinux: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, SPARC, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped instead of statically linked, not stripped Is this a problem on sparc32 or am I doing something wrong here?
I wasn't able to reproduce it in sparc64 using gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 (the image is statically linked). I will build a sparc32 chroot and see what happen there. @Konstantin: Can you provide your emerge --info, version of gentoo-sources you are using and steps you did to compile the kernel? Thanks

Created attachment 133888 [details] Kernel .config file for this This is the .config I am using to build the kernel in this way.
@Konstantin: BTW, 32-bits systems are no longer supported by Gentoo/Sparc (as you can read in the faq[1]), so I'm going to close the bug as INVALID. Anyway, I will end my test in the chroot and give it a look. After that I'll mail you with my results. You can reach me at yoswink@g.o. Good luck.
