Dear Kernel Developers,
PROBLEM: while building kernel 2.6.8.1. for Alpha (Miata)
I first have configured the linux kernel using menuconfig option.
When I try to build linux kernel 2.6.8.1. on a DEC Alpha (Miata) on
Debian Linux 3.0r2 the following error occurs:
CC arch/alpha/kernel/traps.o
arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c: In function `opDEC_check':
arch/alpha/kernel/traps.c:55: parse error before `['
make[1]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel/traps.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2
What could be wrong?
Do I need to install another version of the gnu compiler/assembler?
I have installed:
gcc version 2.95.4
as version 2.12.90.0.1 using BFD version 2.12.90.0.1
Best Regards,
Erwin Schoenmakers

Yes. Your toolchain is way too old.

What are the required versions on Alpha?
According to Documentation/Changes, Erwin's versions were OK.

IIRC, gcc >= 3.3.4, binutils >= 2.13.

Probably it needs to be updated. I doubt if these versions
work on x86_64 at all, for example.

The gcc dependency sounds pretty tough.
Why isn't even gcc 3.3.3 able to produce a kernel on Alpha?

That's the smaller problem. Since you can't build a gcc 2.95 for amd64
noone can try using it for building the kernel...

Sorry, I was thinking of some miscompilation problems unrelated to kernel.

Actually, gcc 3.1 should be sufficient.
