Hello! I just tried to build the Debian kernel package for alpha which fails with:
debian/bin/buildcheck.py debian/build/build_alpha_none_alpha-generic alpha none alpha-generic ABI is not completely versioned! Refusing to continue. Unversioned symbols: strcat module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL strcpy module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL strncat module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL strncpy module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL Can't read ABI reference. ABI not checked! make[2]: *** [debian/rules.real:218: debian/stamps/build_alpha_none_alpha-generic] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' make[1]: *** [debian/rules.gen:426: build-arch_alpha_none_alpha-generic_real] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' make: *** [debian/rules:39: build-arch] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary-arch subprocess returned exit status 2 According to this comment by Ben [1], this is an issue that is trivially fixed by adding the appropriate header to arch/$ARCH/include/asm-prototypes.h. However, looking at the header file, "#include <asm/string.h>" is already present so I'm not sure what else we're missing. Adrian
