Hi Dennis,
Well it is nice to hear that these big iron boxes are still be used.
> ../../binutils-2.39/bfd/bfd.c: In function ‘_bfd_abort’:
> ../../binutils-2.39/bfd/bfd.c:1671:1: warning: ‘noreturn’ function does return
This is a little bit strange, but probably not important.
Possibly the function _exit() is not defined/prototyped
on your system, which might lead to link time issues. But
let's see if we can get there first.
> ../../binutils-2.39/bfd/../include/plugin-api.h:162:2: error: #error "Could
> not detect architecture endianess"
> I am guessing that PLUGIN_BIG_ENDIAN simply did not get set somewhere?
Correct - it is set at the start of plugin-api.h, using
macros defined by gcc and/or glibc:
/* Older GCC releases (<4.6.0) can make detection from glibc macros. */
#if defined(__GLIBC__) || defined(__GNU_LIBRARY__) || defined(__ANDROID__)
#include <endian.h>
#ifdef __BYTE_ORDER
#if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define PLUGIN_LITTLE_ENDIAN 1
#elif __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
#define PLUGIN_BIG_ENDIAN 1
#endif
#endif
So my guess is that your glibc version is not defining __BYTE_ORDER in
<endian.h>
As a suggestion, can you configure with:
CFLAGS="-D__BIG_ENDIAN=1 -D__BYTE_ORDER=__BIG_ENDIAN"
added to the command line, and see if this helps ?
Cheers
Nick
