latest git: compile error: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o

Hi All

I'm trying to compile a fresh git kernel, with latest sources pulled today, Aug. 10. To no avail so far.

OS is Debian/unstable, last time I upgraded the system as far as the dependencies allowed doing that was yesterday, Aug. 10.

---------------------

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor       : 0
cpu             : 7447A, altivec supported
clock           : 833.333000MHz

pmac flags      : 00000019
L2 cache        : 512K unified
pmac-generation : NewWorld
-----------------------------

Here's the config I used:

The compile messages:

--------------------------------
time MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.1" fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-060810 kernel_image

results in [excerpts]:

Please let me know if you need more details.

Thanks in anticipation

Yes. Works. Although I could take the patches on the pages above from the the corresponding messages that are still in my mail folder ... :)

Strange tho' - for me at least - that these patches from about 5 weeks (!) ago still don't seem to have made it into the current git tree ...

5 weeks ago was a particularly bad time for patches trying to get into the git tree, since I was on vacation and then travelling to OLS. :)

Michael, Paul, and everyone else being involved:

My apologies for my perhaps too strong wording when I was complaining about the delay ... I didn't mean the words as ugly as they actually might read ...
