Hi,
I need to build a mipsel toolchain with pretty old kernel headers
(2.6.22.19: http://wl500g.googlecode.com/files/linux-2.6.22.19.tar.bz2).
This leads to an error, very similar to the one described here:
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=6278 (see exact output in
error.log attached).
I think this is a kernel bug, but I do need a 2.6.22 toolchain for
better mipsel routers support (many of them, like Asus ones, run
2.6.22.19 kernels, and using a toolchain with newer kernel headers has
proved to cause numerous issues). Is there a possible workaround for
this issue?
I rather would like to avoid supporting such very old kernels.
The oldest supported kernel is 2.6.32.70.
Could you try using this for the toolchain?
What runtime problems occur, when you use 2.6.32.70 for toolchain
and then run the code on 2.6.22.19?
I verified that 2.6.32.70 works with uClibc-ng for mipsel toolchain.
best regards
Waldemar
