Hello,
I apologize up front for my rudimentary questions and I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions to shed some insight on my problem.
I've encountered some compilation errors compiling the Debian Linux kernel (2.4.27) on Cobalt's Cube 2 using gcc 3.3. Then, reading through the Document/Changes, I changed my compiler to gcc 2.95.4 per the document's recommendation. It actually seems to be a worse move since the compiler bails out right away. In either case the binutils I used were installed per apt-get.
The thing that confuses me between the two errors is that the one from 2.95.4 complains of an option (`-mcpu=r5000') that is fed into as (the assembler) when compiling with gcc 3.3, this option is not generated. the .config files used has no real difference with regard to machine selection. The diff between the two config files is provided at the end of this email.
Here's the error message using gcc 3.3:
