Description of problem: 
I am trying to compile a RedHat 2.4.9-31 (+xfs) kernel with the Compaq SmartArray 5xxx 
driver (i.e. cciss) compiled into the kernel.  The error I get is:

I am compiling with egcs 1.1.2. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried google and other places but I can't seem 
to find a fix for this.   
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.9-31 
 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1.Use the kernel config listed above 
2.compile the kernel (with kgcc?) 
3.look for the error 
  
 
Actual Results:   
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.4.9-31-xfs/arch/i386/lib' 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.4.9-31-xfs/arch/i386/lib'

RedHat 2.4.9-31 (+xfs)

you're running SGI Linux not Red Hat Linux, please report this to the proper vendor.

Sorry, but I'm a bit irked.  You didn't even look into this, and just assumed 
that I'm a dumb user who doesn't know where to report bugs.  I compiled the 
vinila redhat 2.4.9-31 kernel as well as the XFS patched version and both had 
the same error message.  It's not related to SGI or XFS.  Some of our servers 
use XFS and some don't, but neither will compile with the cciss module - I 
think that makes it pretty obvious that the issue is not related to SGI.  

So, do I need to re-open this and say I was using the vinila RH-2.4.9 kernel, 
because it has the same problem.

It *does* depend on what you are running. You can compile it on Red Hat Linux
7.2. However it's know to not compile on RHL7.3 or some SGI Linux versions. It's
a binutils interaction.

Comment 4 Brandon Zehm 2002-07-15 19:42:06 UTC

OK thanks - that actually helps to make things a lot clearer.   
 
To make things clear to you I am not running SGI's distribution (never even tried it.)  I 
am running RH-7.3 on one of my boxes (no XFS) and Slackware 8.0 on my other system.  In 
production we use a very stripped version of RH 7.1 with the xfs tools and XFS kernel 
added on afterward.  We recently aquired some new hardware that requires the cciss code 
to be compiled into the kernel, and when I tried compiling a new kernel (on both vinilla 
RH-7.3 and Slackware 8.0) the compile failed with the previously posted error message. 
 
Since I now know that it's just a binutils problem I will install RH-7.2 on a spare 
machine and compile the kernel there. 
 
Thanks for your input -
