Thanks for your reply, Andrew. ld seems to be fine: root:/# ldd /tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00dcc000) libdl.so.2 => /tools/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00ca4000) libc.so.6 => /tools/lib/libc.so.6 (0x0067e000) /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00e09000)
ld, in fact seems to run: root:/# /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: no input files Investigating further, I ran the verbose mode of the kernel build: root:/sources/linux-3.0.4# KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 make headers_check set -e; : ' CHK include/linux/version.h'; mkdir -p include/linux/; (echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 196612; echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))';) < /sources/linux-3.0.4/Makefile > include/linux/version.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/version.h ] && cmp -s include/linux/version.h include/linux/version.h.tmp; then rm -f include/linux/version.h.tmp; else : ' UPD include/linux/version.h'; mv -f include/linux/version.h.tmp include/linux/version.h; fi make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/fixdep.c /tools/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 080486e0 Usage: fixdep <depfile> <target> <cmdline> make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 root:/sources/linux-3.0.4# scripts/ So, the build is calling gcc, which is then calling ld, which is producing the error message. What's curious is that fixdep is actually built and is runnable, evidenced by the usage message. I even tried it by hand. Its almost as if the gcc run time is not right. Any other ideas?
