cross compilation error -- /usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--as-needed'
 

hai,
I have two doubts.The first one is

i am tried to compile the blob bootloader for arm processor in pentium machine . For that i done some settings like
1. export ARCH=arm
2. export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
and based on the readme file i done the steps. But i got an error message as shown below

gcc -I/opt/02-25-2005/linux-2.6.9/include -o mkparamblock mkparamblock-mkparamblock.o
/usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--as-needed'
/usr/local/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [mkparamblock] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/02-25-2005/src/blob/blob-xscale/utils/mkparamblock'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/02-25-2005/src/blob/blob-xscale/utils'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


The second problem is that now it is not possible to run the normal c programs, it shows an error messages - "cannot execute binary file".
How can i overcome this .... i expect a valuable replay from u
NB: i am using rhel4 with 2.6.10 kernel

Welcome to Linux Questions.

1) arm-linux
You are probably using the LART embedded computer from
http://www.lartmaker.nl/ ??? Please inform.

I do not find find the option --as-needed in the files.
( Not included in the configure options or any of the
blob programs )
Which version of blob is used ? And a link to it ?

Please try using this toolchain
