Package: u-boot Version: 2014.10~rc3+dfsg1-1 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hello! On SH4, we can't currently update the kernel to the latest version since u-boot, which is a dependency of the kernel package, fails to build from source. According to the build log [1], the reason for the failure is a compiler option which is not supported in the current build configuration on SH4. Checking the source code, it seems the option in question, "-m4-nofpu", is used on SH4 only. Thus, it would therefore not hurt to just remove this option. Would it be possible to just patch this option from the source? I am attaching a proposed patch.
