[Devil-Linux-discuss] Problem compiling vmlinux.lds.S

[Reid S. <RSp...@do...>]

I've managed to get devil-linux building all the way to the linux
kernel. Most of that builds but it fails with:

 

make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/tmp/linux-2.4.36.6/arch/i386/lib'

gcc  -D__KERNEL__ -I/build/tmp/linux-2.4.36.6/include -e stext
arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S   -o arch/i386/vmlinux.lds

arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S: Assembler messages:

arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:4: Error: invalid character '_' in mnemonic

arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:5: Error: invalid character '_' in mnemonic

arch/i386/vmlinux.lds.S:9: Error: no such instruction: `initdata PT_LOAD
FLAGS(6)'

....

 

It's like gcc doesn't understand a loader script.  I've never run into
this before building Linux and don't know enough about it to debug.

 

Any ideas?
