Joel reported and issue building the openrisc kernel as well with this error:

This fails at the link step:

LD vmlinux.o
+ or1k-elf-ld -r -o vmlinux.o --whole-archive
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.o init/built-in.a usr/built-in.a
arch/openrisc/built-in.a kernel/built-in.a certs/built-in.a
mm/built-in.a fs/built-in.a ipc/built-in.a security/built-in.a
crypto/built-in.a block/built-in.a lib/built-in.a drivers/built-in.a
sound/built-in.a net/built-in.a virt/built-in.a --no-whole-archive
--start-group lib/lib.a /usr/lib/gcc/or1k-elf/12/libgcc.a --end-group
or1k-elf-ld: /usr/lib/gcc/or1k-elf/12/libgcc.a: error adding symbols:
archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

Is it the same? It might be good to have details of the error in the commit
message.

Ill have a look at this. Could you give an example of what you mean by import
library code, from where? OpenRISC imports builtins from libgcc, also we have
string and other lib routines from within the port.
