linux-next is Torvalds master branch? >>Example for avr32:defconfig: >> >>fs/built-in.o: In function `anon_inode_getfile': >>(.text+0x2ae90): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_21S against >>`.text'+296c0 >> >>All builds but avr32:allnoconfig fail with such truncated relocations. Weirdly I do not get this when I build torvalds/master with allnoconfig. The avr32 kernel was never very fond of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n, it was always built with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y for actual usage. >>Toolchain used is the old gcc 4.2.4 toolchain from kernel.org.

Last release of avr32-linux GCC was the 4.2.4 patches in Buildroot for AVR32. Atmel never upstreamed the AVR32 patches for GCC. >>Another question is if the avr32 kernel still supported, or if I should >>just stop trying to build test it.

If it is too unstable for you in the test bench, feel free to remove it. -- Best regards, Hans-Christian Egtvedt
