G'day,

I've been trying to build a kernel from supped sources (from May 15 via
the local mirror) but I get link errors for compat_43_sys* stuff. I'm
not sure what is going on. Here's what I did after supping....

cd /usr/src/share/mk
make install
cd /usr/src
make includes
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/config
make depend && make all && make install
cd /usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/conf
config GENERIC
cd ../compile/GENERIC
make depend && make all

And here's how it barfed....

ld -N -Ttext fffffc0000230000 -e __start -G 4 -X -o netbsd ${SYSTEM_OBJ} vers.o

Stop.


I noticed that it *did* do the "making sure the compat library is up to
date..." step and compile all the compat objects.

I munged the echo line in the link to show ${SYSTEM_OBJ} and
lib/compat/libcompat.a is in there. Then I looked at lib/compat/libcompat.a
and it was only 8 bytes!  So the ar step didn't work. I ran ar manually
to get a libcompat.a version that allows the kernel to link.

Any ideas why libcompat.a isn't building? I've used the same procedure
to build i386 and that works.

Regards,
