Afterburned linux compilation error

[Yuri Prokushev]

Hello, All

I have tried to build afterburner project. During compilation I have some problems:

1. tcb_layout.h, asmsyms.h and kdb_*.h not generated automatically.  I generated them by make <filename> in pistachio build directory
2. afterburner_*.s files can't be assembled with error "invalid prefix or operand in command 'mov'" from assembler. Error reproduced as with 2.6 as with 2.4 kernel

Is any suggestions to solve this problems?

BTW, I also have problems with build XEN2, but XEN3 build ok.

You're  probably using a too new compiler, last time i looked at it
one had to use gcc-3.3.6

I guess you're using a too recent version of binutils. The assembler of that
version refuses to build older Linux 2.6 revisions (e.g., 2.6.9), since they
contain certain inline assembly statements that are not strictly correct
(mov %gs, %eax). You can either use an older version of binutils (2.16.1 and
previous, as far as I remember), or patch linux appropriately; there's even
an "official"  patch in the kernel FTP, e.g., under
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch.

Thanks. Seems to be exact this problem. Trying to compile patched kernel.
