Error compiling kernel on raspberry pi since latest changelog update

Hello,

On slackware-current I can not compile the kernel on my raspberry Pi 
anymore. Until and including
Mon Jun 18 08:07:25 UTC 2012 changes in the slackware-current repository 
I recompiled the kernel several times with succes. With the changes that 
were made on Thu Jul 5 07:56:34 UTC 2012 in the repository I get an 
error at the end of the compilation:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
This is a bug - please report about it
Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I tried to add KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 but with no luck.

Thanks in advance,

Sorin Mitrica

If you're using -current you need to keep up to date -- this date is of an
old batch.

The latest batch has a toolchain upgrade and lots of other changes.

Aha I misread your post!

This is common for Fedora, apparently:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2012-March/003001.html

Have a dig around and see whether there's a fix for it that Fedora have
applied to their kernels.    I must say that I've never come across this
before when building the kernels for Slackware ARM.

The previous gcc packages are here in case they turn out to be useful:
http://armed.slackware.com/armedslack-current/reversions/d/gcc-4.7.1-1/

You should be able to downgrade to those and re-try the kernels.  The gcc
packages in the latest batch (Jul 5th) do have some new patches.
There will be a gcc rebuild again in the next batch with the latest batch
of upstream patches and bug fixes.

Thanks ! I`ll let you know if it works in several hours when the 
compilation ends.

Hehe.  It all made sense yesterday in my lack of sleep induced alternate
reality.

So I have a newer gcc build on the dev boxes than the packages on the
FTP site and I got confused about what "-current" was where.

Given that I've compiled 3 kernels with that toolchain, I'd go down the
patch route if I were you.  I'll have some newer gcc packages nearer the
end of the week that I can upload for test if you want, but to be honest I
doubt they'll help.

Please upload those newer gcc packages. It seems there is a bug in the 
toolchain. I downloaded again the sources for the kernel from the git 
hub, removed all packages from d/ and glibc , cleaned everything, 
reinstalled all the packages that I removed earlier but the error still 
persists.

Thanks in advance,

Sorin

Try these.  I only built them yesterday and have compiled just one
package with them.

Once I have some time, I'll give building a kernel a go.

Thank you !

I`m building vmlinux now with the new gcc package. Let`s see...

Same error, I reverted to gcc-4.5.2-arm-3.tgz from -13.37. I`ll have 
another run.
