make menuconfig and make j$(nproc) throwing errors
Hi, I am trying to compile the 5.16.10 kernel and make menuconfig throws this error below: aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/confdata.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/expr.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/lexer.lex.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/menu.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/parser.tab.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/preprocess.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/symbol.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/util.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/util.o: warning: relocation against `free@@GLIBC_2.2.5' in read-only section `.text' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:104: scripts/kconfig/mconf] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:619: menuconfig] Error 2 And I tried to build without make menuconfig and make is telling me I need 'bison' ?

You need bison to build the kernel, sorry, please install it.

Oh my, you actually went through that mess ? I will do so thank you.

I guess a lot has changed since then. Maybe someone should update the 'what tools do I need' section in https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild ? Does anyone have a fix for make menuconfig error below please ? aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/mconf /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/confdata.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE At some point am going to need menuconfig to work again so anyone else ever had this problem ? If you did 'how' did you resolve ? Thanks - Aruna
thanks,
greg k-h
