kernel 2.6 compiling problemS with ld.script and coffboot files



Hi, I am a switcher to Mac world and running iBook G4
800Mhz with Debian kernel 2.4.24 and Panther.

I encountered an error during compiling the lastest
benh's source tree I got today:
--------
(make O=../build > ../compileLog 2>&1)
(tail ../compileLog)
COFF arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/coffboot
ld: cannot open linker script file
arch/ppc/boot/ld.script: No such file or directory
COFF arch/ppc/boot/image/vmlinux.coff
objcopy: arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/coffboot: No such
file or directory
make[3]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff] Error
1
make[2]: *** [openfirmware] Error 2
make[1]: *** [zImage] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
--------
I made sure there is ld.script file under
arch/ppc/boot with the permission of 222. Could you
tell me what went wrong? and/or some spells to solve?

However, actually, there was not coffboot file under
arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware directory. Some google
search said someone had same kind of error, and the
unconvincing answer was just 'touch coffboot'. I
cannot test anything with this one before the
ld.script problem is solved, can I? Or you can tell me
some other way to cope it.

Thanks.
