Re: [U-Boot] Compiling with arm-eabi and YAFFS2

U-Boot 2009.08 fails to compile with the arm-eabi compiler (V4.1.0 and V4.3.1) when YAFFS2 support is enabled (CONFIG_YAFFS2 defined as 1). It reports undefined symbols. (JFFS2 support compiles successfully.)

Having investigated, it appears that a work around is to create dummy functions as follows:

#ifdef CONFIG_YAFFS2 /*

• These stub functions are needed when using the arm-eabi compiler with

YAFFS2

• support. This is a complete hack and will probably need to be revised.

}

void __exidx_start(void) {

}

void __exidx_end(void) {

} #endif

For convenience, I included these temporarily with my board-specific initialisation code - which is clearly not a good place.

Has anyone else run into this problem and is there a more elegant solution?

Which board are you using ? Can you supply the $(CROSS_COMPILE)-gcc -v ?
