Trunk (r9650) won't build on Debian Etch

[openwrt@…]

The assembler does not like a flag.

Someone else had the same problem (​http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=13220). Could be a bug in Debian.

Sorry for the long lines.

fixed in r9717

[buildster]

Thank you for the r9717 fix.

The problem still exists in the build of Target System Broadcom BCM947xx/953xx [2.6] and Target Profile (Broadcom BCM43xx WiFi) when using gcc 4.1.2 (the default) or 4.2.2 on Fedora 7. However, it's working with gcc 3.4.6.

Compare the problematic command using gcc 4.1.2 with the working command using gcc 3.4.6, a -O2 optimization flag is missing. Not sure where it's set nor whether it's an issue.

[florian]

It works fine on etch now.

[eschoeller@…]

This is broken on Lenny. Would have been nice if someone indicated what the fix was.

Most likely your issue is some random package picking the wrong compiler. If you still have such an issue, make a new ticket instead, and actually provide some useful information regarding the context.
