[gentoo-user] Where to discuss ARM stuff.

Hello,

i am running Gentoo on an ARM device and ran into a problem building
binutils.
I thought to asked about that on an gentoo-arm mailing list, but
found, that this list ist listed as closed.
So is there an apropriate list or ressource dedicated to that or does
gentoo-user cover this?

Regards,
Norman

What problem? I have no experience on Gentoo/ARM but some on
buildroot/ARM.

I have a problem compiling binutils.
Full build log can be found here http://smash-net.org/temp/build_log.txt

I tried tha vanilla flag and diabled zlib as suggested via google
search, but neither did help.
I also tried latest unstable version 2.29 i think.

Any hint would be welcome.

Quite obscure...

I'd try to reproduce by issuing only the offending line from the shell
(the one that compiles "options.cc", see below) and then try again
removing the -O2 flag.

Also check if the disk is full ("end of file not at end of a line;
newline inserted" is suspicious but it could just be a side effect of
the compiler crash).

There are some build requirements listed in the README under
/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.22-r1/work/binutils-2.22/gold/,
double check if they are met by your ARM toolchain.

If all fails you could try disabling "gold" compilation (the
--enable-gold bit) and just compile/use the standard GCC linker.

Sorry, not much else I can think of. I never had to compile the binutils
package because I had a binary cross-compiler toolchain for ARM available.

A guy from IRC #gentoo-embedded gave the essential hint yesterday.
Setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" instead of -j2 solves the problem.

When in doubt, gentoo-user covers it. gentoo-alt might also be worth a try.

gentoo-embedded is your best best.
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/irc.xml

There is also a gentoo-embedded discussion group, but it is
mostly used for announcements, only occasionally having
material submitted for discussion, so it is a "slow ride"
for answers.

Also look at the embedded handbook.
