thanks
I think I've found the reason.
Jari, the test for "some 2.6 kernels need # character in
KBUILD_BASENAME and KBUILD_MODNAME" returns true for Debian
2.6.16 kernels, where it used to return false for 2.6.15.
(I have not checked vanilla kernels yet)
Makefile then does
ifeq ($(SR1),y)
EF += -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=\#s"
which apparently gets evaluated by shell twice and causes
the quoting to fail. It results in a syntax error:
[...] -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=# [...]
I'm considering to change it to the following, but first
wanted to ask if you know whether the change could then
break builds for other kernels:
ifeq ($(SR1),y)
EF += -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=\\\#s"
The full bug report is quoted below.
cheers,
Max
