| |
Hello!
I am trying to compile a 2.4.27 kernel for pentium-2 on an x86_64 Opteron system (Fedora Core 3). I tried editing the Makefile to add -m32 to the gcc argument, and I added ARCH=i386 to all of the 'make' commands.
The first problem I see is that /sbin/genksyms does not exist on FC3. I am not sure where this is supposed to come from, but I coppied a version from an different machine and it seems to work OK...
After that, the build still fails, complaining about conflicting types for various things:
home/greear/kernel/2.4/linux-2.4.27.p2/include/asm/unistd.h:375: warning: conflicting types for built-in function '_exit' ... sched.c:213: error: conflicting types for 'reschedule_idle' sched.c:210: error: previous declaration of 'reschedule_idle' was here sched.c:213: error: conflicting types for 'reschedule_idle' sched.c:210: error: previous declaration of 'reschedule_idle' was here
I also tried building in a debian chroot (the binaries there is regular i386). This mostly worked but it failed to build something down in the aic scsi code...
So, has anyone got a recipe for cross-compiling regular x86 2.4 and/or 2.6 kernels on an x86_64 system?
Thanks, Ben
