Fatal error: Invalid --compress-debug-sections option: `zstd'

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

I'm using Manjaro with Linux Kernel 6.5.5-1.

Thanks! S2

Unfortunately I have no idea, since I tested it on manjaro 6.5.5 also. Maybe try installing zstd packages?

[eduardolucioac]

My "ld" doesn't support "zstd"... See..

[eduardolac@eduardolac-pc ms912x]$ ld --help | grep "compress-debug sections"
    --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]

But, if I use Kernel 6.6 ("linux-amd-drm-fixes" and "linux-amd-drm-fixes-headers" packages in Manjaro), I can build "ms912x".

Kernel 6.6 is "experimental"...

But, despite having compiled it, the driver didn't work.

"Maybe try installing zstd packages?" -> Doesn't work, too.
