Hello,
the 2.6 arch/ppc64/boot/Makefile misses 2 features from 2.4.
Unfortunately, they are not yet part of the main 2.4 tree. I attach the
Makefile for reference.
I cant figure out how to add these 2 things to 2.6.
One missing piece is the imagesize.c. This file is/was generated during
build and acts as a hint for the boot header. It is much better to tell
the values via ld commands. This allows relinking without recompiling
the zImage boot binary.
The ld call needs the $(LDVARS) options.
The second missing piece is the /proc/version content in the boot
header. This helps some tools to extract the exact kernel version. The
uts_string rule in 2.4 shows how to do that. Just adding an uts_string
rule to the 2.6 Makefile doesnt work, because it will be compressed.
How can I do that with the 2.6 rules?

# Makefile for making ELF bootable images for booting on CHRP
# using Open Firmware.
#
# Geert Uytterhoeven September 1997
#
# Based on coffboot by Paul Mackerras
# Simplified for ppc64 by Todd Inglett
#
# NOTE: this code is built for 32 bit in ELF32 format even though
# it packages a 64 bit kernel. We do this to simplify the
# bootloader and increase compatibility with OpenFirmware.
#
# To this end we need to define BOOTCC, etc, as the tools
# needed to build the 32 bit image. These are normally HOSTCC,
# but may be a third compiler if, for example, you are cross
# compiling from an intel box. Once the 64bit ppc gcc is
# stable it will probably simply be a compiler switch to
# compile for 32bit mode.
# To make it easier to setup a cross compiler,
# CROSS32_COMPILE is setup as a prefix just like CROSS_COMPILE
# in the toplevel makefile.
