make[1]: “include/generated/mach-types.h”是最新的。

/home/liyu/arm-2008q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: no machine record defined

将arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds的最后两行(如下)，给注解起来，但都没说是为了什么 
     ASSERT((__proc_info_end - __proc_info_begin), "missing CPU support")       
     ASSERT((__arch_info_end - __arch_info_begin), "no machine record defined") 

     自己到arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds里看的时候，才发现那两行的上头写着

     /* These must never be empty 
    If you have to comment these two assert statements out, your binutils is too old (for other reasons as well) */ 
    ASSERT((__proc_info_end - __proc_info_begin), "missing CPU support") 
    ASSERT((__arch_info_end - __arch_info_begin), "no machine record defined") 

    我想可能不是我交叉编译器太旧的缘故，而是太新了！

    现在注释后可以正常编译内核了！
