This combination causes a compilation failure of the host-gcc-final
recipe like this one:
/br/output/host/usr/mips-buildroot-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
.libs/gload.o: relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `__gnu_local_gp' can not
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
The problem is the file 'libatomic/gload.c' is compiled without -fPIC
when using binutils-2.25. All gcc (with libatomic) versions below 4.9.3
are affected by this issue.
Here is a summary of affected/unaffected versions in Buildroot:
4.7.x: unaffected (doesn't have libatomic)
4.8.x: affected
4.9.x: unaffected (we have 4.9.3 which is fixed)
5.1.x: unaffected
The fix can be found here:
57f5c0954f
However, given the following reasons...
- Upstream gcc 4.8 branch is closed.
- The fix is very hard to backport from 4.9 to 4.8.
- This stuff is insanely sensitive and not working at all could be
better than looking like it works but not quite.
...I think the best choice is to disable that combination in Buildroot.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
