Package: kernel-package Version: 12.033 Severity: normal
kernel-package fails to build a kernel package on hppa when the target kernel is 64-bit. It fails because kernel-package uses hardcoded "objcopy" to build /usr/lib/debug debuginfo files for kernel modules but 64-bit kernel needs crosscompile prefix on parisc and normal objcopy does not understand the 64-bit module format. There are several objcopy invocations but it stopped with the first failure. Kernel makefile uses OBJCOPY variable and lets arch-specific makefile to override it if necessary (and this on done on 64-bit parisc). I looked into kernel-package makefile snippets and found that it can already extract variables from kernel makefile - using kernel_version.mk. This snippet even outputs OBJCOPY but this is not used/propagated in other makefile snippets. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc2-00390-g9623e5a (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=et_EE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=et_EE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-5 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii build-essential 11.5 Informational list of build-essent ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii file 5.04-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-10 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii module-init-tools 3.12~pre2-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t ii util-linux 2.16.2-0 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii cpio 2.11-1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar Versions of packages kernel-package suggests: pn btrfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii bzip2 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co pn docbook-utils <none> (no description available) ii e2fsprogs 1.41.11-1 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system utiliti pn grub | grub2 <none> (no description available) pn jfsutils <none> (no description available) ii libncurses5-dev [libncurs 5.7+20100313-2 developer's libraries and docs for pn linux-initramfs-tool <none> (no description available) pn linux-source | kernel-sou <none> (no description available) pn mcelog <none> (no description available) pn oprofile <none> (no description available) pn pcmciautils <none> (no description available) ii ppp 2.4.4rel-10.1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - da ii procps 1:3.2.8-8 /proc file system utilities pn quota <none> (no description available) ii reiserfsprogs 1:3.6.21-1 User-level tools for ReiserFS file pn squashfs-tools <none> (no description available) ii udev 151-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo pn xfsprogs <none> (no description available) pn xmlto <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
