The easiest way to build Etherboot 5.2.6 is to use gcc 3.2.2. I found another machine and built an old gcc and etherboot compiled.
I got errors with the new gcc, tried to fix them, but could never get it to compile. It would be good, if someone knowledgeable could make etherboot work on the current gcc.

Does anyone know how to build etherboot with a current version of gcc? I am using gcc version 3.4.3 and binutils 2.15. I've tried several etherboot versions up to 5.4.0. I know etherboot 5.2.6 with gcc 3.2.2 works, but that's an old version

Steve - Did you ever find a resolution to this? I didn't see any followups on the mailing list. I have the same toolchain as you, so if there's a way to avoid building another one just for Etherboot I'd like to know!
Thanks, Steve Magnani
