I did hit the ldscripts error, which needed a fix in binutils-config. But this |
| 20 |
ranlib-based one, I haven't hit in the last few times I've run catalyst to build |
| 21 |
newer livecds. All I can say, is use crossdev to completely remove all traces |
| 22 |
of cross-compilers, then follow behind it in /usr and remove any left overs that |
| 23 |
might be remaining (usually in /usr/${CHOST}/*). Then, remove all your kernel |
| 24 |
trees. |
| 25 |

Remerge everything, using gcc-4.1.2 and binutils-2.17, and cross fingers. Make |
| 27 |
sure you're running "make vmlinux" for 64bit targets (IP28, IP27, IP30) or |
| 28 |
vmlinux.32 for quasi-64bit targets (IP22, IP32). Also make sure you have the |
| 29 |
latest crossdev too. |

I can only think that this is residual goop leftover, possibly form that |
| 32 |
ldscripts bug. Since catalyst stages nuke everything on a rebuild, when the |
| 33 |
ldscripts bug was fixed, I may've just skipped over this issue by the nuking. |
| 34 |
Cause else, this would be a kernel build failure, and I should've ran into it by |
| 35 |
now. |

As a last afterthought, make sure mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-ranlib exists and can |
| 38 |
be ran. |
