Our current systems currently works fine with the new kernel and uC-libc. But only one application is not getting compiled properly. During elf2flt it fails saying main.elf2flt: In function `getsockopt': /usr/uClinux-dist/lib/libc/sysdeps/getsockopt.c: 18: relocation truncated to fit: R_68K_PC16 SYSCALL__0__COMMON collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [main] Error 1 (I have already posted the same in the list under the subject: "Problem with elf2flt") Any help in solving it out? Thanks in advance, Anandh. This message resent by the uclinux-dev@uclinux.org list server http://www.uClinux.org/
