Re: Unsupported relocs on Alpha, Was: BFD 2.16.1 "assertion failure"and "internal error"
Hi Dan,
I didn't install gcc, so the most I know about it is:
bash-2.04$ gcc -v
Reading specs from
/usr/local/packages/gcc-3.4.0/lib/gcc/alphaev68-dec-osf5.1/3.4.0/specs
Ah - well that made things a little clearer. I tried to build a
toolchain configured for "alphaev68-dec-osf5.1" but I failed. GAS and
LD were not built for a start. Then I had a look at the top level
configure file and found this:
alpha*-dec-osf*)
# ld works, but does not support shared libraries.
# newlib is not 64 bit ready. I'm not sure about fileutils.
# gas doesn't generate exception information.
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs gas ld fileutils target-newlib
target-libgloss"

So basically the GNU binutils do not support the particular GCC and G++
toolchain that you have. I am guessing that it is the missing shared
library support that is responsible for those unsupported relocs.
I am not an ALPHA/OSF expert so I am not going to be able to implement
the missing functionality, sorry. You could have a go yourself if you
like...
Cheers
Nick
