with powerpc:defconfig, powerpc:allmodconfig, powerpc:cell_defconfig, and
powerpc:maple_defconfig.
This is on top of v3.15-rc5. Any idea what is going on ?
Compiler is powerpc64-poky-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.7.2 (from poky 1.4.0-1).
Interesting... works with all my test configs using 4.7.3...
I don't have my tree at hand right now, I'll check what that means
tomorrow see if I can find a workaround.
It works for me with gcc 4.8.2 (build from yocto 1.6.0).
Is asking people to use gcc 4.7.3 or later acceptable ?
OK, this appears to be an assembler bug.
$ cat test.s
.text
x:
.pushsection b, "a"
beq y
.popsection
.=0x80000

Alan, can you shed light on when it was fixed?
Hi Stephen,
any idea what might cause this one, by any chance ?
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_crit_book3e':
(.text+0x165ee): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI against symbol

arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `exc_debug_debug_book3e':
I see this if I try to build powerpc:ppc64e_defconfig or
powerpc:chroma_defconfig
with gcc 4.8.2 and binutils 2.24.
Thanks,
Guenter
