Alsa lib: Unknown EABI object attribute 44

[twobob]

I know this has been covered before. (I just looked up a few of the threads.)

But I don't see any reference to this so...

when I build alsa-lib I get a warning about Unknown EABI object attribute 44

And when I use the resulting libsound.a I get errors (saying similar things about the EABI)

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -mfpu=vfp --sysroot=/arm -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-long-long -fstrength-reduce -fthread-jumps -fcse-follow-jumps -fcse-skip-blocks -frerun-cse-after-loop -O2 -ffast-math -pipe -fPIC -s lcd.o refresh.o lcdc.o palette.o cpu.o mem.o rtc.o hw.o sound.o events.o keytable.o loader.o save.o debug.o emu.o main.o rccmds.o rckeys.o rcvars.o rcfile.o exports.o split.o path.o inflate.o sys/nix/nix.o sys/fbdev/fbdev.o sys/linux/kindleinput.o sys/alsa/alsa.o -o fbgnuboy -lasound

/arm/usr/lib/libasound.a(pcm_dshare.o): In function `snd_pcm_dshare_start_timer':
pcm_dshare.c:(.text+0x108): warning: 
/opt/arm-2007q3/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.2.1/../../../../arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: Warning: /arm/usr/lib/libasound.a(timer_symbols.o): Unknown EABI object attribute 44

the TC is the 2007q3 CodeSourcery one.

So I guess I am asking for some pointers on figuring out these types of errors

(the alsa lib ver is /usr/local/src/alsa-lib-1.0.25/src)

thanks

I would first suspect that your binutils version is too old.
You should be able to update just those without re-building the compiler itself.

okay I will do it via debian then. thanks:

vi /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring
Install ARM cross compilation tools:

apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install linux-libc-dev-armel-cross libc6-armel-cross libc6-dev-armel-cross binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi g++-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi gdb-arm-linux-gnueabi uboot-mkimage
Compile the sources:

Prepare the build directory that will contain the ARM binaries:

cd src/
mkdir build
Download, configure and compile the alsa library[2]:

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/a...1.0.25.tar.bz2
tar xzf alsa-lib-1.0.25.tar.bz2
cd alsa-lib-1.0.25
CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux --prefix=/
make
make install DESTDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/
make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/../build
