How to build the kexec too for ARM11 using the cross compiler.

[Lai Weilin-B04597]

I am trying to build cross-compile, on a ubuntu server. 
After I read through the INSTALL file, I came up the following configure option.
./configure arm --prefix=/usr --build=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
And after setting the environment variables, such as CC, BUILD_CC and etc., it works.

After the successful build, I tried the kexec out using the following command.
#kexec -l /unit_tests/zImage_mx35_430 --append="noinitrd co
nsole=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.192.225.211:/tools/rootfs/b04597/r
ootfs_mx35 rw ip=dhcp no_console_suspend"

After execute the a currently loaded kernel, error occur again.
The log is as below.

MXC Watchdog # 0 shutdown
Starting new kernel
Bye!

crc error

 -- System halted


BTW, your configure works fine for ARM on my side too.
Thanks...

Hi,

When cross-compiling for arm the following works for me:

autoheader
autoconf
./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu

In what way is what you are trying failing?
And are you trying to build natively or cross-compile?
