Certainly when building for a real machine there should be no need for the simulator serial port. Is there a fix for this? Has anyone successfully built the 2.5.69 kernel with the patch for a real machine?
Will,
If you set the processor type to ZX1 (of course onlyh if you are on a Longs Peak machine) you bypass this dependancy and 2.5.69 builds.

I hacked around the offending code in the arch/ia64/hp/sim, so things linked and booted.
Unfortunately, I am doing this on a Intel ia64 machine. I don't currently have a Longs Peak machine. However, given that things work for a Long's Peak it should be a simple edit of arch/ia64/Makefile to exclude building the simulator for a workaround until the simulator gets fixed.
drivers-$(CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC) += arch/ia64/hp/common/ arch/ia64/hp/zx1/arch/ia64/hp/sim/

drivers-$(CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC) += arch/ia64/hp/common/ arch/ia64/hp/zx1/

This has been fixed by Changeset 1.1079 in the BK tree for 2.5.
