[SeaBIOS] Question about linker building seabios

[Marc Bertens]

Hi Kevin,

I'm adding a VT100 serial console to the seabios code. 
Which can be set to port COM1 or COM2. 
I added the interrupt vector in the serial_setup() routine. 
And made the interrupt service routine. The compiling goes 
fine, no problems there. But in the linking stage an error 
is reported to the line of the interrupt service routine:

make: *** [out/rom.o] Error 1

Can you tell me what i'm doing wrong or missing to do?

Below here are the code snippets:

// INT(3/4)h : Serial Hardware Service Entry Point (for keyboard
handling)
    void VISIBLE16 handle_console_serial( void )
    {
        ...    // my code
        ...
    done:
        eoi_pic1();
    }

void
    serial_setup(void)
    {
        ...  // orginal code

...
        #if CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SERIAL
            con_addr = GET_BDA( port_com[ CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SERIAL -
1 ] );
            dprintf( 3, "keyboard on serial port %x\n", con_addr ); 
        # if CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SERIAL == 1 || CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SERIAL == 3 
            enable_hwirq( 4, FUNC16( handle_console_serial ) );
        # else
            enable_hwirq( 3, FUNC16( handle_console_serial ) );
        # endif
        #endif
    }
