[PPCBoot-users] [Q] compiling ppcboot with gcc 3.2.2 in yellowdog 3.0 (-mrelocatable option)

Hi, I have a question about compiling the ppcboot under yellowdog.

yellowdog is installed at Mac G4

cpu             : 7455, altivec supported
clock           : 1416MHz
revision        : 3.3 (pvr 8001 0303)
bogomips        : 1415.57
machine         : PowerMac3,6
motherboard     : PowerMac3,6 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh
detected as     : 129 (PowerMac G4 Windtunnel)
pmac flags      : 00000000
L2 cache        : 256K unified
memory          : 512MB
pmac-generation : NewWorld

I have the following error messages.

gcc -O2 -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0xfff00000 -I../include -fno-builtin -pipe -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_74xx_7xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_74xx_7xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -o zlib.o zlib.c

[kotaeji <at> ppc-compile kotaeji]$ gcc --version

Is this the problem related to gcc in yellowdog? Should I rebuild gcc in yellowdog?

When I cross-compile this ppcboot under ELDK, there is no problem.

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks

PPCboot was never adapted for  GCC  3.x  compilers  and  never  will.
Development  has been stopped nearly a year ago. Please switch to the
successor project U-Boot instead. There have been a some  of  changes
to U-Boot to make it build under GCC 3.x .

Best regards,

It's hard to make a program foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
