Subject: Compiling kernel-3.4.xxx with gcc-9.x. Need some help.
Hi
I am using an Olimex A20 SOM with NAND and due to some binary blob for
NAND driver, I am stuck with the sunxi kernel 3.4.xxx version. (Repo
here: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi)
I am currently using buildroot-2016 and gcc-5.5 for building the
kernel and every other package needed.
Now the requirement is to move to the latest version of gcc-9.x, so
that we can have glibc++ provided by the gcc-9.1 toolchain.
Main problem for moving to later versions of buildroot is the kernel
3.4 which we couldn't to work with gcc-6 a few years ago _but_ now the
gcc-9.1 requirement is mandatory so now have to look into compiling
linux-3.4 with gcc-9.1 or above.
Now I need some help.
-- Is it realistic to expect 3.4 kernel compiling and boot
successfully with gcc-9.1?
-- Secondly, till now I am able to compile until the point when its
going to generate the vmlinuz image, it failed with error at LD stage:
arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-ld: no machine record defined
Last few lines from compile log:

After some investigation I found that the MACHINE_START macro from

from the object file during compilation of
"arch/arm/plat-sunxi/core.c" due to the error here:

I modified the MACHINE_START macro in arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h
and added "__attribute__((used))" so it became:
static const struct machine_desc __mach_desc_##_type
__attribute__((used)) \
And I managed to get the vmlinux image.

-- I still can't boot the kernel on the platform. I believe its
because there were lots of warning like above (unused const variables
etc) and might have removed some other code/functions OR macros?
So please suggest what I can do for compiling working kernel-3.4 with gcc-9.
Thanks in advance,
