Re: [Ltib] turning off -O2

[Kallol Biswas]

There is an issue with removing -O2. Dead codes are not eliminated resulting undefined references in linking phase.

I have compiled manually in linux directory after checking out with ltib -m prep -p kernel.

Even after fixing unresolved symbols the kernel did not boot, while inflating uboot complained saying  "Error: Inflate returned -5".
So to get -g version of kernel working more work in necessary. Do not know how people use gdb with BDI2000 for the powerpc
p4080 platforms.

Hi Kallol,

If you don't mind turning it off for all applications and getting a full
rebuild, you can run:

./ltib --configure

and then under "Enter any CFLAGS for gcc/g++" click enter and then add
-O0 or whatever you need.

Another option to adjust just the kernel may be to run ./ltib
--configure and then select: [*] Configure the kernel

This will then build the kernel and drop you to the kernel's config
system.  If you enable debugging that will add -g and it may drop the
optimisation level down (I don't know though, depends on your
source/platform).  There could be other kernel config options that let
you do what you want (again kernel dependent).

Failing that, Matt's advice is good, edit the appropriate Makefile under
 arch/powerpc after running ./ltib -p kernel -m prep
and then complete the build with ./ltib -p kernel -m scdeploy
