 I'm running Redhat Linux 5.8 with all the latest patches.  Kernel is
 Version 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5PAE.

After running make menuconfig and selecting my Lippert LX800 and a few
 other parameters, I run a "make" and get the following error.  I'm not
 sure what to do at this point.

Comment (by stepan):

It sounds like the linker on your Linux distribution is broken. I suggest
 you build and use the reference tool chain:

$ cd util/crossgcc
  $ ./buildgcc
  $ cd ../..
  $ rm .xcompile
  $ make

It would be nice to report the issue in the Redhat bug tracker, so they
 can fix it.

As an alternative, simply run:

{{{
 $ make crossgcc
 }}}

to build the toolchain.

[Dralle, Matt]

Thank you for the information.  I tried this and it was working away, then died (see below).

BTW, the normal gcc on the system in question works for other builds including custom kernel builds, so the linker does work.  Just not with the Coreboot make.

Linux# > buildgcc
