Bug 192973 – gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r5 does not produce a static kernel on sparc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Konstantin Agouros 2007-09-18 21:06:04 UTC]

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.
