make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

I first saw this bug when using Debian fora host system. I then started the entire LFS build over, this time using the LiveCD. The bug reproduces.

Thanks,

Craig

I've seen this in 2.6.15.4 too. This suggests there's something wrong in LFS rather than the kernel - they wouldn't have left usb-audio non-compilable for 3 releases surely? I also get build failures in net/bridge/bridge.ko though don't have the output to hand at the moment.

NOT confirmed on Debian Sarge (gcc-3.3) with the same config.

[alexander@…]

NOT confirmed on Ubuntu Breezy (gcc-4.0.2-prerelease). Looks indeed like LFS-specific bug.

[alexander@…]

No, this is not LFS-specific. Confirmed on Ubuntu Breezy plus vanilla gcc-4.0.2 installed in /tools with the following configure line:

../gcc-4.0.2/configure --prefix=/tools --enable-shared --enable-languages=c --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit

So looks like upstream gcc-4.0.2 bug.

[alexander@…]

The bug exists in gcc-4.0.2, but doesn't exist in gcc-svn from the gcc-4_0-branch as of 20051111 (revision 106803). So the fix is now a trivial matter of bisection. Those who have faster boxes and live to the west of me are in better position to do this :)

[alexander@…]

This is a duplicate of ​http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24109

[alexander@…]

Upstream fix

[alexander@…]

Many thanks to edno for actually doing the bisection.

​This patch actually fixes the issue. It should be added to the book as soon as possible.
