Which version of kernel-package are you using ?
I installed 6.23 from potato because the one from slink does not support
--subarch=sun4u very well.
About the -melf64_sparc option passed to the linker, I will check that next
time I will build a kernel.
Now I compiled a ultrasparc kernel but I don't have any chance to test it
because I don't have access to a ultrasparc neither at home nor at my office :-((
Could you help me, or anybody else, doing a trial run to see if it ever works ?
I can upload it somewhere to make it available to you.
Regards.
