kernel .config (5.16.12, PowerMac G4 DP)

5.16.12 kernel build for my G4 DP on my Talos II fails with:

This seems to have been introduced by commit d51f86cfd8e378d4907958db77da3074f6dce3ba "powerpc/mm: Switch obsolete dssall to .long"

Reverting this commit fixes the build for my G4.

This description is puzzling.

Commit d51f86cfd8e3 ("powerpc/mm: Switch obsolete dssall to .long") is not in v5.16.12

For me, applying that commit to v5.16.12 should fix your problem, not the reverse.
Comment 2 Erhard F. 2022-03-10 13:25:32 UTC
This was Gentoo Sources v5.16.12 not upstream sources. But now I am not able to reproduce it which is even more strange... Also Gentoos' v5.16.13 builds ok.

What I did in the meantime was downgrading to binutils 2.37 (had 2.38 before) and rebuilding the toolchain afterwards.

So this probably was never a bug but an issue with my setup. ;) Closing here.
