Re: Cross compiling : problem linking

Without more information (i. e. what sort of code this is and how you
intend it to run - stdandalone, in kernel or in user context)  nobody
can help you.

Final goal is a kernel module, but now I'm writing a test program in
user space (standalone, dynamic compiled).

These are two completely different issues.

Code is quite simple (but I'm unsure about the correctness, due to the
fact that my C knowledge has collapsed since I didn't use it anymore
last 2 years):

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <asm/io.h>

You're including a kernel header file here. You must not do this. The
functions / macros you're looking for are not available in user space
(for example, outb is #defined only when __KERNEL__ is defined  which
is never the case for user space applications.)

So somewhere, there is a linker problem.

No, it's a misunderstanding on your side. You cannot run kernel  code
in user space or vice versa.
