I tried the same revision (364) fresh from the repository and in a second step 
with your archive:

Hostcompiler: gcc 4.0.3, binutils 2.16.1
Crosscompiler: gcc 4.1.1, binutils 2.17
Crosscompiler: gcc 4.2.1, binutils 2.17

(all tests are done on a 32 bit "Linux from Scratch" host system)

No error messages like yours.

I had the exact same problem (gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2), GNU
assembler 2.16.1, GNU ld version 2.16.1).

As far as I can tell binutils is mostly broken for 16-bit code and
different versions of binutils is broken in different ways... ;-)

It's fairly easy to fix though - in "/arch/x86/stage0_i586.S" find the
first line with the "lgdt" instruction in it (it's about line number
60) and replace that line with these lines:

movl $gdtptr,%ebx
    lgdt %cs:(%bx)

I'm not too sure if that's the only thing I messed with to get it to
work (but I think it is) - to be honest, I stumbled around doing all
sorts of things for a while first (I'm much more used to assemblers
like NASM, and much less familiar with "compiler back-ends pretending
to be assemblers")...

Cheers,

Brendan

Thanks,
your suggestion is atleast compileable ..
i will test later ..

greetings,

So it seems its more a Gentoo related problem.

Prejudice only. ;-)
