New port created but need advice when linking.


Hi I created a new cpu port for Binutils, the xgate risc co-processor(http://github.com/seank/FreeScale-s12x-binutils). I verified the output by comparing it to that of a commercial compiler, what I want to be able to do is link the files from the main core and the co-processor at the same time. Even though they are different machines they are both elf32 big-endian and use the same emulation so I don't see why it isn't possible.

I added the xgate relocations to the main processor port, but when I call it I get the following error.

"
mc9s12x-elf-ld -m mc9s12xelfb --defsym _start=800 -T memory.x -o test.elf main.o
mc9s12x-elf-ld: main.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 192)
mc9s12x-elf-ld: main.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 192)
main.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
"
LD doesn't seem to like to link object files generated by a different version. Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the Binutils suite. The only idea I came up with is to compile the tool chain twice. Once each time with the different tc- and -dis source files with a different output prefix. In hopes that the linker doesn't know the difference. If this email should go to a "lesser" list, let me know. Any input would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Sean
