Package: binutils Version: 2.16.1cvs20051214-1 The Linux kernel's make menuconfig on hppa currently fails because it tries to do
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh: [..] echo "main() {}" | $cc -lncurses -xc - -o /dev/null 2> /dev/null [..] To check which ncurses library it is able to link against. This output to /dev/null causes none of the ncurses options to get picked and thus, lxdialog to fail to link. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/git/parisc-2.6% echo "main() {}" | gcc -lncursesw -xc - -o /dev/null /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Downgrading to previous version of binutils have the same problem, so I'm unsure when this was introduced (and don't have time to sleuth too far back). Currently this change is pending for 2.6.16, so no release kernels are bitten by it yet, but I suspect it may be a problem for other Debian arches (though it wasn't on i386/ia64).
