I get the following error when trying to compile linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5 with gcc-3.1-r4 on linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5: ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/acpi/acpi.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/char/agp/agp.o drivers/char/drm/drm.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/pnp/pnp.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/message/i2o/i2o.o \ net/network.o \ /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux fs/fs.o: In function `dput': fs/fs.o(.text+0x1461d): undefined reference to `atomic_dec_and_lock' make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 I've put my .config on the URL.
Are you doing the following? cd /usr/src/linux cp .config /tmp make mrproper cp /tmp/.config . make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage modules modules_install
I don't believe you have a problem compiling a kernel with gcc3.1. I think it's more likely your config is wrong. $ cd /tmp $ cp -a /usr/src/linux* . (linux --> linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5) $ cd linux $ wget http://www.inom.sector7.nu/kernelconf $ mv kernelconf /tmp $ make mrproper $ cp /tmp/kernelconf .config $ make menuconfig (then exit and save) $ make dep $ make clean $ make bzImage ... ld -m elf_i386 -T /tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \ --start-group \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o \ drivers/acpi/acpi.o drivers/char/char.o drivers/block/block.o drivers/misc/misc.o drivers/net/net.o drivers/media/media.o drivers/char/agp/agp.o drivers/char/drm/drm.o drivers/ide/idedriver.o drivers/scsi/scsidrv.o drivers/cdrom/driver.o drivers/sound/sounddrivers.o drivers/pci/driver.o drivers/video/video.o drivers/message/i2o/i2o.o \ net/network.o \ /tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/lib/lib.a /tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/lib/lib.a \ --end-group \ -o vmlinux nm vmlinux | grep -v '\(compiled\)\|\(\.o$\)\|\( [aUw] \)\|\(\.\.ng$\)\|\(LASH[RL]DI\)' | sort > System.map make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/boot' gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s as -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s bbootsect.s: Assembler messages: bbootsect.s:256: Warning: indirect lcall without `*' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA setup.S -o bsetup.s as -o bsetup.o bsetup.s bsetup.s: Assembler messages: bsetup.s:1156: Warning: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff bsetup.s:1546: Warning: indirect lcall without `*' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary -e begtext -o bsetup bsetup.o make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/boot/compressed' tmppiggy=_tmp_$$piggy; \ rm -f $tmppiggy $tmppiggy.gz $tmppiggy.lnk; \ objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S /tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/vmlinux $tmppiggy; \ gzip -f -9 < $tmppiggy > $tmppiggy.gz; \ echo "SECTIONS { .data : { input_len = .; LONG(input_data_end - input_data) input_data = .; *(.data) input_data_end = .; }}" > $tmppiggy.lnk; \ ld -m elf_i386 -r -o piggy.o -b binary $tmppiggy.gz -b elf32-i386 -T $tmppiggy.lnk; \ rm -f $tmppiggy $tmppiggy.gz $tmppiggy.lnk gcc -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/include -traditional -c head.S gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon -DKBUILD_BASENAME=misc -c misc.c ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e startup_32 -o bvmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/arch/i386/boot/compressed' gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o tools/build tools/build.c -I/tmp/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r5/include objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S compressed/bvmlinux compressed/bvmlinux.out tools/build -b bbootsect bsetup compressed/bvmlinux.out CURRENT > bzImage Root device is (3, 3) Boot sector 512 bytes.
