The file start32.S, where the error appears, is part of syslinux package, not generated in any way by nasm. nasm is only used to compile (x86) assembly files to (x86) object files. Native GNU assembler, that is fired as part of syslinux compilation, expects ppc instructions, but start32.S is again x86 assembly. That's why it bails out with an error. In short, syslinux is pretty much x86-centric package. It's not surprising that it doesn't compile on ppc, and it isn't nasm's fault. |
Description of problem: masm, when trying to compile syslinux (for the LiveCD project) generates an invalid opcode "jmp" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux sneex.insecurity.org 2.6.16-1.2289_FC6 ppc nasm.ppc 0:0.98.39-3.2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get syslinux source 2. execute make 3.
