I am trying to verify that the newly submitted mips port of rtems
compiles and was merged correctly and may have tripped across a problem:
The submitter was using the very old "cygnus-2.6.4-950101" whatever that is.
I am using binutils 2.7 and gcc 2.7.2 snapshot 960719 configured for
mips64orion-rtems which is a clone of mips64orion-elf.
The warning from ld is:
liblnk.rel: uses different e_flags (0x0) fields than previous modules
(0x20000001)
clock.rel: uses different e_flags (0x1) fields than previous modules
(0x20000001)
I can't explain the reason why sometimes it is a 0x0 and sometimes it is
a 0x1 but I think that all of the files with this problem were generated
using "ld -r".
Does this sound like a known/familiar problem or do you need some more
information from me?
This is a known problem. The 2.7 linker warns if you try to link
object files that look like they were compiled for different ISA
levels. Unfortunately, the 2.7 ld -r always generates object files
that look like they were compiled for ISA level 0. So, when you link
ld -r output with -mips3 output, you get a warning.
The bug in ld -r is fixed in the current snapshots, and will be fixed
in the 2.8 release.
The different between 0x0 and 0x1 is ignored (I hope). A 0x1 just
means that .set noreorder was used in the source.
