Kernel compilation error: gcc: error: elf_i386: no such file or directory

Question

I am stuck in my kernel version prior to version 2.6.22. Error message:

SYSCALL arch / i386 / kernel / vsyscall-int80.so gcc: error: elf_i386: There is no such file or directory make [1]: * [arch / i386 / kernel / vsyscall-int80.so] Error 1 make: * [arch / i386 / kernel] Error 2

I tried google for answers, e.g. downgrade gcc, etc. But nothing happens. My OS is ubuntu 11.04 with kernel version 3.1.4.

So what is it wrong? Thank you for your responses.

Answer 1

You can check the vdso make file, which should be in the arch / x86 / vdso / Makefile file.

find string

  VDSO_LDFLAGS 

there are two lines for x64 and the other for x32-bit systems.

he must have

  -m elf_x86_64 

and the other

  -m elf_x86 

replace them as

  -m64 

and

  -m32 

respectively.

Link to fix errors Link1 Lockergnome and Link2 ubuntu .

Answer 2

I used this answer to this problem and changed the -m elf_i386 part to -m32 in the Makefile stored in the arch/i386/kernel directory and solved the problem for future reference.

Answer 3

I changed the specified Makefile (arch / x86 / vdso / Makefile) and it fixed the problem. My platform is Ubuntu-12.04, Linux 3.13.0-30.
