Package: linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley
Version: 2.6.18-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
When trying to compile external modules on Debian's 2.6.18 kernel (and
.17 too, and maybe others) on IA64/McKinley ItaniumII, the Makefile in
arch/ia64/ misses some scripts:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley/ M=$PWD
/bin/sh:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley/arch/ia64/scripts/toolchain-flags: No
such file or directory
/bin/sh:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley/arch/ia64/scripts/check-gas: No such
file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley'
CC [M] /home/bgoglin/test/test.o
[...]
The "script/" link in the 2.6.18-1-mckinley's headers looks fine:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley/arch/ia64/scripts
-> ../../../linux-headers-2.6.18-1/arch/ia64/scripts
But the destination does not exists in
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1/arch/ia64/.
toolchain-flags is used by arch/ia64/Makefile to define CPPFLAGS, which
looks pretty important to me. check-gas checks whether gas is recent
enough, which looks pretty important too. I tried to copy those missing
scripts from the kernel source into linux-headers-2.6.18-1/arch/ia64/scripts,
but I get some other warnings then:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-1-mckinley/ M=$PWD
gcc-4.1:

Copying the entire arch/ia64/scripts/ directory from a source tree seems
to fix all the issues. So I guess one package should bring this directory,
either linux-headers or the linux-kbuild.
Thanks,
Brice
