Hi there,

I am using a cross-compiler gcc 4.1.2 and glibc 2.3.6 to build
2.6.24.2 for an adder875 board. At the end of building, the ld gives
the following error messages:

LD init/built-in.o
LD vmlinux

Is it gcc problem, or something else?

Thanks.

Did u do a "make mrproper" before u do the make?

Ok the proper sequence:

move the .config to a tmp directory.
make mrproper (which will delete .config if u did not move it away)
then make menuconfig (or oldconfig, or allyesconfig etc...depends on
you)...and finally make.
.
