kernel LDMXCSR complier error

To last Thread I posted, i redownloaded the kernel 2.4.18 and everything worked fine, until this error. My guess was the download must of stalled and i didnt get all the files.

I'm useing openlinx 2.2. I looked on many differant forums and noticed this error is only with users useing openlinux. Some could fix it and some couldn't. All some users had to do is update there linux utils. Others did do and still had the error. I upgrade my utils and no luck. The error:

(standard input) : assembler message

(standard input) :8: Error no such 386 instruction: 'ldmxcsr'

make [1]: *** [i387.c] Error 1

make [1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel'

make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2


I'm useing Assembler version 2.11.2. Any suggestions? Would love the help!

I failed to mention this happens when i do 'make bzImage' on linux-2.4.18

It's a problem with Caldera's version of gcc.

Upgrading Binutils to 2.10 should solve this problem.

:) Heheh thanks Mictlantecuhtli! For the the link, it really helped me out. I had already updated to Binutils 2.11 but i put the files in /usr/bin/ and not in /usr/i386-linux/bin/ where the older AS was in and thats what gcc was useing. Until now that is.



Your gcc installation disagrees with you about which assembler it should be using. Use gcc -print-prog-name=as to find out what assembler the compiler thinks it ought to use.
