Hi,
here's a build summary of the latest git with GCC 4.4.1:
$ ./MAKEALL mips mips_el
--------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 23 Boards with warnings or errors: 11 ( qemu_mips vct_platinum_onenand vct_platinum_onenand_small vct_platinumavc_onenand vct_platinumavc_onenand_small vct_premium_onenand vct_premium_onenand_small dbau1000 dbau1100 dbau1500 gth2 ) ----------------------------------------------------------
Build warnings / errors could be categorized into five groups:
1) zlib.c: missing <asm/unaligned.h> build error 2) lib_mips/board.c: undefined reference to `getenv_IPaddr' build error 3) env_onenand.c: CONFIG_ENV_{ADDR,SIZE}_FLEX undeclared build error 4) cmd_ide.c: dbuf strict-aliasing warning 5) dlmalloc.c: strict-aliasing warning
I'll post two patches to fix #1 and #2. As for #3, I'll reply to this mail with build logs to remind appropriate people of these issues.
Per #4, it would be better to upgrade the byteorder/swab headers first, rather than fixing occasional strict-aliasing reports. Since they are only reported by GCC 4.4, I'd like to leave this issue as-is for now.
With regard to #5, I've checked the mail archives and found that this is one of the known issues, I will ignore it.
