compiling PPC kernels using binutils-2.9.5.0.22-5
Since binutils-2.9.5.0.22-5, the final stages in the kernel build process fail:
| objcopy vmlinux.elf vmlinux.elf --add-section=.note=note \
| --add-section=sysmap=../../../System.map -R .comment
| objcopy: vmlinux.elf: File truncated
| make[1]: *** [vmlinux.elf] Error 1
It looks like objcopy no longer creates temporary files (the manpage states it
does), so it no longer works if the input and output file are the same.
After reverting to binutils-2.9.5.0.22-4 everything worked fine again.
The changelog entry says:
| binutils (2.9.5.0.22-5) frozen unstable; urgency=high
|
| * Applied fixed patch from Colin Phipps to seal the unlink
| race condition in bfd/cache.c (closes: Bug#58865, Bug#57831)
| * Installed a proper changelog in binutils-doc
| (closes: Bug#58522)
| * Closes other older bug (closes: Bug#55801)
| * Included bbconv.pl in binutils main package in the doc dir
| under the gprof subdir (closes: Bug#57521)
