[Etherboot-developers] Compiling liloprefix.s failed (EB 5.1.7 from CVS) - relocate?

[Anselm M. H. <eth...@ho...>]

Hello ,

etherboot 5.1.7 (as taken from CVS this evening) does NOT compile
for me (reference: download from CVS at 20:45 GMT). That's what my
linux tells me (gcc version 2.95.3, kernel SuSE 2.4.18 [sorry])

anselm-31:/home/anselm/etherboot/etherboot-5.1/src # make bin32/rtl8139.lilo
as  -o bin/liloprefix.o bin/liloprefix.s
ld -Ttext 0x10000 --oformat binary       -o bin/liloprefix.bin bin/liloprefix.o
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00010000
bin/liloprefix.o: In function `bootsector':
bin/liloprefix.o(.text+0x1): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 text
bin/liloprefix.o: In function `go':
bin/liloprefix.o(.text+0x19): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 text
make: *** [bin/liloprefix.bin] Error 1
rm bin/liloprefix.o
anselm-31:/home/anselm/etherboot/etherboot-5.1/src #
  
Does that mean "relocation =^= work in progress"?

BTW Found this while entering changes into rtl8139.c, for multicast
support with that nic (Hi Deng Zhiguo :-) but wanted to test-run
before commiting to CVS...
