Kernel Link Problems

Kernel Link Problems

[Bill Huey]

Hello,

I'm running the 2.4.12-ac3 and I get this while linking vmlinuz:

	ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e startup_32 -o bvmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o
	ld: bvmlinux: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 2, need 3)
	ld: final link failed: Bad value

What's going on and how do I fix this ?

Thanks

bill

Same thing happening here on 2.4.12-ac{2,3}, 2.4.12-ac1 will link correctly

ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e startup_32 -o bvmlinux head.o misc.o piggy.o
ld: bvmlinux: Not enough room for program headers (allocated 2, need 3)
ld: final link failed: Bad value

Distribution is Debian/unstable (apt-get dist-upgraded just before compile)

It's a Debian problem. Downgrade to the previous version of binutils.

Some more investigation pointed me that this maybe a flaw in some package in debian-unstable. As 2.4.12-ac2 compiled on my laptop (which was not uptodate) and i've had reports that ac3 compiled just fine on machines running debian-stable.
