[U-Boot-Users] make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

Hi,

I'm trying to compile u-boot version 1.1.2 unmodifed on an iBook G4 with the following specs:

glibc: 2.3.4 gcc: 3.4.3 binutils: 2.15.90.0.3-r3

Here are the steps I'm using, please let me know if I've screwed something up:

make Sandpoint8245_config make

The build appears to go through fine until near the end, where it is trying to use ld with the option:

...-Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

Then I see this every time in the same place:

make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

u-boot.map is empty at this point.

The exact same thing happens when I try to build u-boot using a cross compiler built on an x86 machine for a powerpc 603e cpu. u-boot.map is also empty

Also, I get the exact same error when trying to do the same task on a Pegasos machine running Debian. The only difference on the Pegasos machine is that it actually gets part way through creating u-boot.map.u-boot.map actually contains some data.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. My attempts to look the issue up through google have yielded results like "check the hardware, bad ram or disk corruption", or, "it's the fault of binutils 2.15".

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I've wasted two days changing and rebuilding cross compilers, and testing on different machines.

Thanks in advance, Anthony
