This is kind of thread-hijacking, but since I seem to be having some GNU binutils-related problems when I try to build to an ELF/zELF binary target, it seemed appropriate for me to chime in here with my experience:

Based on the info in the thread below, I just checked out a fresh copy of gPXE from Git and tried to build src/bin/gpxe.elf as a target. Instead of a bunch of errors about not being able to find ELF headers, I now just get:

arch/i386/scripts/i386.lds:1: undefined symbol `_max_align' referenced in expression

Am I building the wrong target? Should I be building to .rom instead?

My goal is to create a binary image usable as a coreboot v2 payload.

Any help would be appreciated!

As lkrn image the kernel loads .... an freez instantly without any more output.

We have had some issues with a recent commit breaking compatibility with some versions of GNU binutils. These should now be fixed, as of commit 7982e79. Could you please retry with this latest tree?

If you still see the failure you describe, please send the bin/gpxe.lkrn.tmp.map file to me.

Thanks,
