Re: Device Driver Reuse

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your reply.

I've tried building it, but I get a

cc1: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12

error when trying to build dietlibc. Is this error from trying to  
compile it with gcc 4?

My system doesn't have gcc 3 by default, so the first make command  
says that gcc 3 will be build. But when inspecting the generated  
config.out with menuconfig, the build gcc option is still disabled.  
Even after manually enabling it, I still get the same error.

Actually, I could manage to install gcc-3.4.6 from my distribution,  
but g++ is unavailable (Ubuntu 9.4).

Is there any other tip to getting it to build?

Regards,

Roberto.
