The patch fixes relocation on functions, where you have problems with symbol relocations. > 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 Just stick -Wl,--no-relax somewhere. This is standard practice to build a kernel.
