Re: Problems building 2.6.31.6 with 64bit Fedora-11

[Reg Clemens <reg@dwf.com>]

I sent this message to the list yesterday, but it never appeared,
Probably a side effect of my new Fedora-11 install.  In any case
here is another try. The question is about a failue of a build
of linux 2.6.31.6 on a 64bit Pentium 4.

A File shows:

reg@deneb kernel]$ file *.o
microcode.o:       ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not 
stripped
microcode_amd.o:   ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not 
stripped
microcode_core.o:  ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not 
stripped
microcode_intel.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not 
stripped
test_nx.o:         ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not 
stripped

while nm shows

[reg@deneb kernel]$ nm *.o
nm: microcode.o: File format not recognized
nm: microcode_amd.o: File format not recognized
nm: microcode_core.o: File format not recognized
nm: microcode_intel.o: File format not recognized
nm: test_nx.o: File format not recognized

Almost looks like the wrong version of nm, but Im sure someone
out there will have a better idea.
