Hi,
I would to like to use the rtai kernel patches on Debian Wheezy
(Debian-Package rtai-source) on the i386 architecture, which are
currently only available for various releases of Linux 2.6.
As the most recent kernel patch included in rtai-source was
hal-linux-2.6.32.11-x86-2.6-03.patch.gz, I first tried to compile the
vanilla kernel 2.6.32.11 with gcc-4.7 from Wheezy and using make-kpkg
(with .config copied from linux-image-2.6.32-5-686). It failed compiling
ptrace.c (the problem has already been described in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/9/281).
Using the patch from the linux-kernel-mailinglist from above the compile
process got further, but it fails at
gcc -nostdlib -o arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-int80.so.dbg -fPIC -shared
-Wl,--hash-style=sysv -m elf_i386 -Wl,-soname=linux-gate.so.1
-Wl,-T,arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/vdso32.lds arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/note.o
arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/int80.o
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-m'
gcc: error: elf_i386: No such file or directory
As I am using an i386 system anyway, I simply patched -m elf_i386 away
(which probably the Makefile when crosscompiling from amd64 to i386, see
attached patch for details). I assume -march=i386 would be a proper
replacement, but I am not sure about that.
Next problem occured at compiling an Intel network driver:

Of course I could find some way to go around this error, but I assume I
either did something fundamentally wrong or I'll have to file a bug
against some package (gcc?). Does anybody have an idea?

Benedikt Wildenhain
P.S.: Compiling this kernel using gcc-4.4 from oldstable works, I am
currently trying to compile it together with the rtai-patches, but that
doesn't feel like the way rtai-source is meant to be used.
