Problems building an OCTEON1 kernel

[Andrew Duane]

I've just set up a new sandbox from our local mirror, and I'm trying to build an OCTEON1 kernel for testing on a local platform. I followed the instructions from the MIPS Wiki page, which had worked before for me. However, now, when I try to "make buildkernel" (after "make kernel-toolchain"), every file compiled gives:

  Assembler messages:
  Warning: A different -march was already specified, is now octeon

I'm sure that's because the cc line has -march=mips64, but then near the end has -march=octeon -mabi=64, and sounds benign. But, at the end:

  linking kernel.debug
