--- Comment #18 from Mikael Pettersson <mikpe at it dot uu.se> 2012-04-12 10:09:32 UTC --- It seems to be triggered(*) by Uros' PR46533 patch in r166999: http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=revision&revision=166999 Repeat-by: 1. have cross tools to alpha-linux hosted on e.g. x86, mine has binutils-2.20.1 2. build gcc-4.6 r166998 as cross to alpha-linux 3. used the above to cross-build a linux-3.3.0 kernel, this works for me 4. repeat steps 2 and 3 with gcc-4.6 r166999, gcc builds ok but the kernel build fails with the usual 'relocation truncated to fit: GPREL16 against ...' errors In my cross environment gcc 4.7 and 4.8 also fail to build a linux kernel, but 4.5.3 and 4.4.7 work. (*) Presumably gcc triggers a bug in ld.
