what causes OFF_T/SEG_T to be defined?

Asked by StefanPotyra

Hi,

while trying to test-build faumachine (20090512-1) from debian/unstable, it bails out when trying to link the bios. The problem seems to be that, OFF_T and SEG_T in the bios (node-pc/simulator/bios/) are undefined references:

./gcc.pl "gcc -Wchar-subscripts -Wcomment -Wformat -Wnonnull -Wimplicit-int -Wimplicit-function-declaration -Wimplicit -Wmain -Wmissing-braces -Wparentheses -Wsequence-point -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wunused-function -Wunused-label -Wunused-variable -Wunused-value -Wuninitialized -Wunknown-pragmas -Wstrict-aliasing -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-noreturn -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls -Wno-pointer-sign" -I../../.. --freestanding --no-stack-protector -fstrict-aliasing -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 --freestanding -falign-functions=15 -I. -I.. -I../.. -I../../../lib -DCONFIG_APM_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_MOUSE_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_PCI_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_PNP_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_DMI_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_SMI_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_SMP_SUPPORT -DCONFIG_ACPI_SUPPORT -m32 -Xlinker --whole-archive -T ./bios.lds -static -nostdlib -Xlinker -Map -Xlinker bios.gcc.map -Xlinker --cref -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -o bios.elf1 libinit_rm.a libinit_early.a librt_rm.a librt_pm.a

libinit_rm.a(libinit_rm_a-pci.o): In function `__LOCAL_libinit_rm_a_pci_o_.L114':

Now faumachine uses a particular weird/tricky build system to build the bios, which I tried to track down for bugs. However I don't have any clue so far and the best hint might be the assembly output of libbinit_rm_a-pci.o (stripped down to first undefined reference):

     abb: 66 89 c6 mov %ax,%si
     abe: 66 09 fe or %di,%si

still I'm confused: What causes SEG_T/OFF_T references in there and why only there?

Any help/ideas/suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Aha, preasm_patcher/preasm_proc patches the assembly sources, and doesn't match a function call, resulting in only OFF_T/SEG_T to be defined instead of OFF_T.31/SEG_T.31. Problem solved.
