This is awkard... mbchk reports all green. What is the typical output for everybody here?

New thread for any issues regarding the GCC Cross-Compiler setup:

GCC Cross-Compiler issues

Giving this thread back to those who have problems getting their kernel to load with GRUB. ;)

The basic Cygwin binary setup, including make, flex, bison, and gcc, is 21,6 MB.

binutils-2.15 and gcc-core are 24 MB.

The C++ extensions (gcc-g++) are 2.4 MB.

So, an "all included" setup would be roundabout 48 MByte.

Ok, I've followed all of Chris's info. --file-align=4096 doesn't work, nor --image-base.

mbchk is reporting all green but the last option is said to be "off" (address field). Magic number still reported 000...

Cheers, DH.
