assembler problem in gcc-2.95.3 host alpha-linux, target arm-linux

[Andrew Maier <andrew at maier dot name>]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a tool chain to be able to cross compile for my
Zaurus pda from my Alpha linux workstation.

Building gcc-2.95.3 (with arm patches) and binutils-2.14 went smooth
(see below for configure options used). I compiled several small
programs and tryied them on the target without problems.

But: When trying to compile qt-embedded for the platform (needed for any
serious gui work) I get an assembler error:


andrew@scrat:/usr/local/src/arm/qt-2.3.5/src/moc$ arm-linux-g++  -c -I/usr/local/src/arm/qt-2.3.5/include -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses -pipe -DQT_QWS_SL5XXX -DQT_QWS_CUSTOM -DQWS -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -O2 -Wall -W -DNO_DEBUG -DQT_NO_CODECS -DQT_LITE_UNICODE -I../../include -I../tools -I. -o mocgen.o mocgen.cpp 

arm-linux-g++: Warning: -pipe ignored since -save-temps specified y.tab.c: In function `int yyparse()':

y.tab.c:3174: warning: label `yyerrlab' defined but not used
y.tab.c:3169: warning: label `yynewerror' defined but not used
moc.y: At top level:

mocgen.s: Assembler messages:

mocgen.s:65548: Error: value of 4294968294 too large for field of 4 bytes at 65488

Indeed when looking at the assembler one can see lines like:

.word   yyss+4294968294
				
Somehow I beleive that this has something to do that this has to do with
the 64bit nature of the Alpha.


Looking through the web I only came up with 2 references to a similar
problem: 
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1997-12/msg00884.html

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/1997-12/msg00908.html

(But this has to be another bug, since the described code works fine for
me)




Any help welcome,

	thanks in advance,

		Andrew

PS: I can provide the assembler, preprocessor output if someone is
interrested.




How I built the toolchain:


I compiled binutils (2.14 using the -target=arm-linux for configure)
without problems and I also got gcc-2.95.3 + arm patches to compile with
the following options passed to  ./configure (Since I already have the
crossed glibc + headers, I can shortcut):

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
./configure \
--with-gcc-version-trigger=/home/andrew/arm/cross/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/version.c\
--host=alpha-linux --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/zaurus/tools\
--with-headers=/usr/local/zaurus/tools/arm-linux/include\
--with-libs=/usr/local/zaurus/tools/arm-linux/lib\
--enable-languages=c++,c,f77,objc --norecursion
