Doesn't happen to me. Maybe I can reproduce it if I get a copy of your .config file. And BTW, which gcc version are you using?

[root@frodo linux-2.5.53]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java --host=i586-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)

I'm using a different compiler version. That might be related to the problem:

[kasperd:pts/0:/mnt/misc/kasperd/test/linux-2.5.54] gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110) [kasperd:pts/0:/mnt/misc/kasperd/test/linux-2.5.54]

And here it goes my .config.

The FB_I810 option was missing, but if I just set that one to no I could compile without problems using your .config file.

How many versions do you have to go backwards to find a kernel you can compile?

Just one :-) 2.5.53 is happily running on my laptop. I think I've compiled and booted all the kernel version since 2.5.3something.

Ciao,
Paolo

A closer look on the patch reveals that the lines causing trouble for you are in fact new:
http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?css=%2Fdiff%2Fdiff.css;file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.5%2Fpatch-2.5.54.gz;z=65
And so are the fields being manipulated:
http://www.kernel.org/diff/diffview.cgi?css=%2Fdiff%2Fdiff.css;file=%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fkernel%2Fv2.5%2Fpatch-2.5.54.gz;z=862

Could the compiler somehow be using headers from the wrong location? (Just a wild guess)
