[Devil-Linux-discuss] Trying to build 2.3.4 with very little enabled.

[Jan H. P. <jh...@jh...>]

I'm looking for a distribution at the moment that can serve me for a 
router that I'm building. But because of the needs that I have (IPv6 
state support) I need one with a recent 2.6 kernel. So far I haven't 
been very lucky until I thought that I found it with the Devil-Linux 
project.

I created a config and started building, hoping that it would end in a 
usable iso image. But the build fails somewhere when it tries to build 
SysLinux. This simply does not compile properly. The compile of syslinux 
ends with the following error:

gcc -m32 -fno-stack-protector -mregparm=3 -DREGPARM=3 -W -Wall 
-march=i386 -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -I../libutil/include -I../include  
-D__COM32__ -c -o mboot.o mboot.c
mboot.c: In function 'trampoline_start':
mboot.c:870: error: can't find a register in class 'BREG' while 
reloading 'asm'
make[2]: *** [mboot.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/tmp/syslinux-3.51/com32/modules'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/tmp/syslinux-3.51/com32'
make: *** [installer] Error 2

I really don't know what this error is but as far as I can find it has 
something to do with some stack protection patches or something.

Could anyone help me out?
