Hello,
we try to use the GCC-4.1 based toolchain for ColdFire to build the
U-Boot boot loader, the Linux kernel and some applications.
We ran into some problems:
(1) It seems that this configuration lacks -fPIC support which is
Are there plans to support -fPIC ?
We don't have an immediate plan to support -fPIC. We're discussing future
features with FreeScale.
(2) We can build applications, but they don't run. For example, when
building OpenVPN we get:
# ./openvpn
Allocation of length 1136352 from process 46 failed
Using the old uCLinux GCC-2.95 toolchain this works fine. For
this working image, "file" reports
openvpn: BFLT executable - version 4 gotpic
Your GC-4.1 toolchain gives:
openvpn: BFLT executable - version 4 ram
Is this a problem? Any other idea what might be wrong?
There are many possible causes. I doubt the static link is the culprit. It
seems that the memory map of openvpn is suspect.
