Thanks for the informations. make bzImage ...was the last I tried - gasped 15mins on this - after gasping 30mins on make vmlinux I did a full new build... ...and it fails with ld.lld-11 as linker: ld.lld-11 -m elf_x86_64 -pie --no-dynamic-linker -r -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/.tmp_misc.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/.tmp_misc.ver; mv -f arch/x86/boot/compressed/.tmp_misc.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o; rm -f arch/x86/boot/compressed/.tmp_misc.ver; fi *** ld.lld-11: error: -r and -pie may not be used together *** make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:281: arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o] Error 1 It's annoying to fail on the last minutes of a build. Sorry for being very honest. - Sedat -
