Talk:DIY Fully working Alpine Linux for Allwinner and Other ARM SOCs

Hi,
I'm currently trying the procedure to install AL on orange-pi-pc.
I'm cross compiling from a debian box.
Compilation of kernel (linux-sunxi) fails with

$ make zImage
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: 'include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: no machine record defined
arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o: In function `kretprobe_trampoline':
/srv/r_and_d/linux-sunxi/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes.c:379: undefined reference to `trampoline_handler'
Makefile:875: recipe for target '.tmp_vmlinux1' failed
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

I'm trying to search any clue on the net to fix this but nothing so far :(
any idea?

I went the alternate way and build the kernel with armbian toolbox.
I'm now a happy Alpine Linux user on orange-pi-pc. It took be about 7 hours to complete "setup-alpine" starting from scratch.
A point of attention is the size of initramfs!
I learned a lot about arm ecosystem. Thanks a lot for this great introduction!
