Your binutils is probably too old and therefore buggy. 2.16 seems reasonable, others prefer the known-buggy in other respects 2.15 version (iirc assembler doesn't complain about undefined constant symbols, doesn't correctly hide $a, $d, $t symbols.) The exact problem is the ASSERT() macro in the linker script - it appears some versions of binutils are documented to accept this but unfortunately it incorrectly errors out with a ficticious syntax error. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
