Subject: [U-Boot-Users] -allow_branch_to_undefined on mipsel-linux-as 2.15
I'd like to know if someone are using mipsel-linux-as version greater than 2.15 to compile u-boot. This version of binutils seems not compatible with mipsel-linux-gcc 3.4.3 or newer.
Option "-allow_branch_to_undefined" is still needed on binutils newer than 2.15?
Hello, Rodolfo.
I have been using mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc 3.4.2 with binutils 2.15.91.0.2, and I have no -allow_branch_to_undefined in this toolchain. I patched cpu/mips/start.S to set up the GOT gp earlier, and used jal instructions to get to memsetup and the other subroutines called there.
I also had to do a runtime calculation of the GOT offset. I don't have a clean patch right now.
I also have a driver for the SMSC LAN911x ethernet interface to contribute.
