Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this and the
resulting kernel is not tested at the moment, but it seems to compile
well. Hopefully this is helpful. Thanks for all the assistance on
this newsgroup.
Followed H.J. Lu's instruction on setting up binutils from linux-gcc
newsgroup.
See http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-gcc%40vger.rutgers.edu/msg00535.html
Apologies if this is already common knowledge :).
