ld linker error with 2.4.34 and 2.4.35.3

[Zerg2000]

Hello,

This is from vanilla 2.4.34 kernel patched with grsecurity:

Code: Select all

Same problem with 2.4.35.3 and grsecurity-2.1.11-2.4.35.3-200710101250.patch

Vanilla kernel compiles ok. There was no problem some moths ago so it is probably because of change in ld.

gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo Hardened 3.4.6-r2, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10)
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18
glibc 2.5

yes, it's caused by extra checks in 2.18 and i already fixed vmlinux.lds for 2.6, i'll do it for 2.2/2.4 as well (no idea why i forgot about them, sorry).

That is not a problem, I've downgraded binutils for now.

Thank You for Your time,

linux-2.4.35.3 + pax-linux-2.4.35-test10.patch links OK now with GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18 however I didn't check if it boots but these changes shouldn't break anything.

Thanks

actually, it's not all good yet, a KERNEXEC kernel is incorrectly linked, i'm still working on that part.
