Element ACTA build linker error: "corrupted double-linked list"
Q: I've tried to build a distribution for an ATCA chassis which uses
openHPI. At the end stage of the build, when linking occurs the
following linker error occurs:
*** Linking elemNtfLogger

A: This is a known issue that occurs very infrequently, and only with certain GCC toolchains, e.g. it was seen with Red Hat gcc 4.4.7, and MV CGE 5 gcc 4.2.0 for PPC. The non-obvious root cause is that building with --cref causes issues for
some GNU linkers. To work around this issue, in ELEMENT_ROOT/build/targets/ppc.mk (or whichever target applies), add the following:
export CREF_WORKAROUND=yes
This will prevent Element from using the "--cref" switch when linking
the executables.
