I have tried "make clean" and recompile , but the problem is still the same=

. The snapshort *.tar.gz is downloaded from
http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/, because cvs server is always time out
, so I download the CVS snapshort
here . I have tried several old version of CVS snapshort , but the error=20
still exist . Only ath_hal can't link successfully , codes in net80211 and=

ath can compile and link successfully with some warninig info .=20
 I make a new toolchain by crosstool , glibc 2.3.3 gcc 3.4.3 binutil 2.15=

I don't have an Xscale setup any more, so I can not investigate this 
further. However, from
your previous posts, you seem to indicate you were using a Montevista 
package.  I don't have
that either...

However, in the past when I had a IXP425 based board, and a Montevista 
development environment,
I compiled gcc/binutils from scratch for the Xscale-ixp425 target. I did 
not have this sort of problem
when I compiled the madwifi driver package. This would be about a year 
ago now.

When I look at my binutils-2.15, the most current version I have, I only 
see ARM_EABI values for
0, which is UNKNOWN, and version 1, and 2. On the ARM site where the ABI 
document may be
found, there is only mention of Version 2.0 of the spec.

So, I don't know what MV has provided that would indicate an error of 
Version 4.

You might try compiling with the flag, '-meabi=gnu' or '-meabi=0', or 
some such. I never have
tried this so, it is just offered as a suggestion.
