I wonder if I may trouble you with what I am sure is a simple linking
question for someone who is not a beginner at linking internals such
as myself.
I am attempting to cross-compile to MIPS64 on an Ubuntu x86 machine.
Here is my input file, zero.c:
int main() {
return 0;
}
With some help from the LLVM people, I can now compile and assemble a
.o file as follows:
clang -o zero.o -target mips64 -integrated-as -c -Wall -Wextra
-Werror -O0 -g zero.c
file zero.o
zero.o: ELF 64-bit MSB relocatable, MIPS, MIPS64 version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
I configured and built binutils-2.24 (attempting to integrate with
gcc) as follows:
../binutils-2.24/configure --target=mips64 --prefix=/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64
An now attempting to link the above-generated .o:
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/bin/mips64-ld -o zero zero.o
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/bin/mips64-ld: zero.o: ABI is incompatible
with that of the selected emulation
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/bin/mips64-ld: failed to merge target
specific data of file zero.o
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/bin/mips64-ld: warning: cannot find entry
symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400000
make: *** [zero] Error 1
I thought perhaps running the linker through the cross-compiled gcc
might help in some way, but no:
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/bin/mips64-gcc -o zero zero.o
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/lib/gcc/mips64/4.8.3/../../../../mips64/bin/ld:
zero.o: ABI is incompatible with that of the selected emulation
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/lib/gcc/mips64/4.8.3/../../../../mips64/bin/ld:
failed to merge target specific data of file zero.o
/home/dsw/gcc-4.8.3-mips64/lib/gcc/mips64/4.8.3/../../../../mips64/bin/ld:
warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to
0000000000400028
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [zero] Error 1
Feel free to point me to the documentation that I should have read
before bothering you.

This sounds like ld and gcc both default to n32 while you are compiling for n64.
Add -mabi=64 to your command lines and try again.

Do I need to reconfigure binutils for a different emulation?

No, that was the option to gcc.
The option to ld you need is:
-melf64btsmip
or
-melf64ltsmip
Depending on if you are doing big or little-endian.

I should have sent this to the list as well: -melf64btsmip
does not seem to be working (see below).
I seem to be missing something here about how to configure and use
binutils. Can I trouble someone to fill me in on the basic approach?
I want to link MIPS64 .o files, in particular those generated by
Clang/LLVM with their integrated assembler, like this:
clang++ -target mips64 -integrated-as -c -O0 -g -o zero.mips64_o zero.cc
