make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile.postlink:31: vmlinux] Error 1

Hi ktr/lkp,

This is not "All errors". I suggest that you improve your output by
(also) grepping for "ERROR:", so that the following lines would be
included here:

ERROR: start_text address is c000000000000200, should be c000000000000100
ERROR: try to enable LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH config option
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh

Hi Randy,

Thanks for the advice, the "ERROR:" lines weren't redirected to stderr, so the bot didn't notice them, it looks difficult to change the output.

Hi Rong,

So 0day bot only checks stderr for errors?
That is almost reasonable (IMO).

Michael, in the file arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh,
what do you think about redirecting all of the ERROR: lines
to stdout (echo "..." >&2)?


Best Regards,
Rong Chen



and yes, enabling LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH does fix this build error.



thanks.
