Package: binutils Version: 2.21.0.20110302-1 Severity: important Tags: sid with the latest binutils update (I cannot check exactly when the bug appeared) I am unable to compile a debian linux source kernel (from the linux-source-2.6.37 sid package). I know it is not a bug in the kernel itself because I tried to recompile the kernel I am now running (the previous version of 2.6.37 available in sid) which worked fine before.
When I try to compile the kernel (regardless of whether I use the make-kpkg tool or issue a straight "make vmlinux" command) I get (after some time) CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h AS arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:1531: Error: .size expression does not evaluate to a constant make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2 make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2 In the top level makefile of the debian kernel (if I did not misread) AS is defined as the command as, which should be /usr/bin/as from binutils in my system. If I should file this bug against some other package, please let me know.
