Subject: avr32 build failures in linux-next

Hi,

I am getting persistent build failures with av32 in linux-next.

Example for avr32:defconfig:

fs/built-in.o: In function `anon_inode_getfile':
(.text+0x2ae90): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_21S against `.text'+296c0

All builds but avr32:allnoconfig fail with such truncated relocations.

Toolchain used is the old gcc 4.2.4 toolchain from kernel.org. I have been
unable to find or build newer versions of gcc for avr32.

Does anyone know if a more recent toolchain for avr32 is available ?

Another question is if the avr32 kernel still supported, or if I should
just stop trying to build test it. Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Guenter
