[openib-general] Compilation issues on rhel4 u3 ppc64 sysfs.o

[Paul Lundin]

Hi All,
     I just started working with openIB in the past week. I am having an
issue getting the kernel modules to compile with the stock rhel4 u3 kernel.
I have applied the patches found at
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport/2.6.9_U3/ and followed the
instructions from
https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Cheat+Sheet but I
have been getting the following error:

LD /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-34.EL-ppc64/drivers/infiniband/built-in.o

Any help would be appreciated. As noted this is on a ppc64 machine. The
rhel4 u3 install does *NOT* configure openIB by default like it does on
intel architectures. I was wondering if openIB has been tested at all on
ppc64 and if this was even possible at this point.

Regards.
Paul
