This is most likely caused by a long linker line. You could use intermediate MergeObject* rules to shorten those lines. Also, since the paths to gcc and its objects + libs are usually absolute, locations with shorter paths would help, too. :-) > BTW I tried qemu-system-ppc to boot a PPC build with no success: no > boot device. It was a bit expected :) Yep, the status of the PPC port is still that. I wanted to get booting over network done first and now that networking is in a reasonable state, it is probably a good time to continue there. When I stopped, I got stuck with problems with the interrupt controller, though. CU, Ingo
