[Xen-ia64-devel] Xen linkage failed with Dwarf Error

["Philippe Berthault" <Philippe.Berthault@xxxxxxxx>]

I have tried to build Xen-IA64 on a Tiger system (Intel SR870BH2), following the

instructions of README.xenia64 file.

 

The Xen sources are issued from xen-unstable-src.tgz archive, downloaded

this morning (may 26, 2005) from the Xen web site.

 

The compilation is OK but the linkage (ld) of Xen is failed with several messages:

  "Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number ..."

     and

  "Dwarf Error: DW_FORM_strp offset (n) greater than or equal to .debug_str size ..."

 

The Linux installed on my system is RHEL-AS3, update 4.

gcc version is 3.2.3 and ld version is 2.14.90.0.4.

 

I thinks the problem comes from the RHEL version too old for building Xen

from Linux 2.6.11 sources. I supposes RHEL version 4 is necessary for

building Xen. Anyone could confirm this ?

 

Thanks.
