Problem compiling kernel: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsie i'

Hello,

I never had a problem with that, but without knowing what changed I
cannot compile the kernel from
http://www.beagleboard.org/uploads/2.6_kernel_revb-v2.tar.gz
I tried the config from
http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/downloads/detail?name=omap3_beagle_defconfig_forUSBPeripheral&can=2&q=
and I tried
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_defconfig

but I get always:

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- uImage

What could be the problem? I am using the toolchain from OE.

known issue the original ti release 2.6.22 will not build with a 4.3 based gcc

Okay, thanks. I thought I used this compiler but surely I had used
CodeSourcery Sourcery G++ Lite 2007q3-51.

i believe 2007q3 will work. this was fixed in either 2.6.25 or 2.6.26

2007q3 is 4.2.1.

2007q3 is 4.2.1.

...and it works. I'm getting old.

Another way to get past this problem with new toolchains (GCC 4.3.2
aka CSL 2008q3) is to edit arch/arm/Makefile like so:

diff --git a/src/linux/kernel_org/2.6_kernel/arch/arm/Makefile b/src/linux/kerne
index 40f68ca..2fc067d 100755
--- a/src/linux/kernel_org/2.6_kernel/arch/arm/Makefile
+++ b/src/linux/kernel_org/2.6_kernel/arch/arm/Makefile
@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ comma = ,
# Note that GCC does not numerically define an architecture version
# macro, but instead defines a whole series of macros which makes
# testing for a specific architecture or later rather impossible.

I'm not a toolchain expert, so I'd like others to weigh in on the
issue if this is a Bad Idea. Otherwise it cures the "selected
processor does not support `cpsie i'" error for me, since "armv7a" is
a Code Sourcery-specific declaration, and later kernels use "armv7-a".
