Error: cannot represent relocation type BFD_RELOC_64

[Nick Clifton]

Hi kanishk,

> Any insight into this..

The assembler is generating an object file which contains the 
BFD_RELOC_64 relocation.  So the assembler must think that it is 
creating a 64-bit binary.  Take a look at the gas command line being 
issued by gcc when you are compiling application.c.  ie:

   gcc -v -I/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-9/include/ application.c log.c 
-lpthread

If there is nothing on the gas command line to indicate that 64-bit mode 
has been selected then have a look in the assembler source file.  (ie 
add --save-temps to the gcc command line).  Maybe 64-bit mode is being 
selected inside the assembler source file.

Cheers
   Nick
