Re: Error when building 2.6.35-rc3 kernel using latest gold

[=?big5?b?RG91ZyBLd2FuICjD9q62vHcp?= <dougkwan at google dot com>]

Your fixdep binary has no ELF header.  I don't know why that happens.
I tried building the kernel on a 64-bit machine and it worked fine.  I
will try using a 32-bit ubuntu machine.

$ od -Ax -tx1 fixdep  | head
