error: "storage class specified for parameter"

["Alexander Povolotsky" <pevnev at juno dot com>]

Hi,

On Linux RedHat 9 (i686) box I am using cross-compiler, built by the cross-tool :

[apovolot@localhost linux-2.6.7]$ /usr/local/bin/powerpc-860-linux-gnu-gcc-3.4.1 -v
Reading specs from /opt/crosstool/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3/lib/gcc/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/3.4.1/specs
Configured with: /opt/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc36/build/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3/gcc-3.4.1/configure --target=powerpc-860-linux-gnu --host=i686-host_pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/opt/crosstool/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3 --with-cpu=860 --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=860 --with-headers=/opt/crosstool/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/include --with-local-prefix=/opt/crosstool/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3/powerpc-860-linux-gnu --disable-nls --enable-threads=posix --enable-symvers=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --enable-c99 --enable-long-long
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.1

It works fine for cross-building (for ppc 860) Linux 2.4.26 

However it gives me the error: "storage class specified for parameter" when I tried to cross-build (also for ppc 860) Linux 2.6.8 
By the way - I was capable of cross-building the same Linux 2.6.8 distro
on the Cygwin (with all additional Cygwin related patches) and then I tar-zipped (keeping all additional Cygwin related patches - I hope it's OK ?) and ftp'd it from Cygwin's laptop to Linux RedHat 9 (i686) box.

Here are more details:
both 2.4.26 and 2.6.8 cross-builds are started by executing bash script

the "go" - from above is the perl script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Getopt::Long;

($target) = @ARGV;


if(! $target){
        die("\n\nUsage: go targetname\n\n");
}
if(!(-d "targets/$target")){

}

print "\n****************************************";
print "\n\nMake zImage\n\n";
system "GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/ make zImage";
***************************************
The Makefile (for both 2.4.26 and 2.6.8 cross-builds)is using bash env variable "CROSS"

[apovolot@localhost linux-2.6.7]$ echo $CROSS
powerpc-860-linux-gnu-

[apovolot@localhost linux-2.6.7]$ grep CROSS Makefile
Makefile:CROSS_COMPILE  = $(CROSS)
