Build error - arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgcc

[maheshkumarkoda]

Hi Community,

I am trying to build U-boot from local folder using the following commands:

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

make mx6qsabreauto_defconfig

make

And I am getting following error:

/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: cannot find -lgcc

make[2]: *** [examples/standalone/hello_world] Fehler 1

make[1]: *** [examples/standalone] Fehler 2

make: *** [examples] Fehler 2

I am using Cross compiler from x86_64-linux as mentioned above, it is supposed to build image for i.mx devices, isn't it?

NOTE:

i got BSP from:

• PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
• mkdir fsl-community-bsp
• cd fsl-community-bsp
• repo init -u https://github.com/Freescale/fsl-community-bsp-platform -b fido
• repo sync

Hi Mahesh,

Actually it's not necessary to bitbake the toolchain to build the U-boot. But you need to export one more variable. Here is the command you can refer to:

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

export CC="/home/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc --sysroot=/home/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabreauto"

make mx6qsabreauto_defconfig

make CC="$CC"

I have the same problem with you before, and this setting solved my problem.

Hope it will be helpful to you too!

Best regards,

Hello Mahesh K K,

You would need to extract the toolchain using the following command:

$ bitbake meta-toolchain

After extracting it run the installer script and initialize it you should be able to compile with it in order to run on the i.MX6. The toolchain you need is for the CortexA9.

There is a very good training on the link below where it is shown how to compile the kernel using the extracted toolchain.

I hope this information helps!
