JFYI, when comparing v4.4[1] to v4.4-rc8[3], the summaries are:
- build errors: +13/-13
[1] http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/9774/ (all 259 configs)
+ /tmp/ccnzCwY6.s: Error: can't resolve `_start' {*UND* section} -

Various MIPS, the saga continues...
Hi Geert,
do you know which version of binutils is used by kisskb ?
If it is 2.23.90 or similar (ie below 2.24 and third level version
has more than one digit), there is a patch pending to fix it.
No, I don't know.
It dumps the GCC version, but not binutils. I should add that one day.
The mips toolchain is pretty old, so it's using binutils 2.22. Are you saying I
need to update it?
Michael,
is your toolchain available somewhere as binary ? I'd like to add a single
mips build test using it if possible.
Hi Guenter,
I'm still using this old one from kernel.org:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/4.6.3/x86_64-gcc-4.6.3-nolibc_mips-linux.tar.bz2
Odd, that works just fine for me when building v4.4. It correctly detects
that it can not build vdso and skips it as expected.
Puzzled ...
