Here's a patch that simply uses hardcoded definitions instead of doing the dynamic tests that require architecture-specific scripts.
I don't particularly like this approach because it restricts portability and diverts from upstream. But, it is simpler, and this really needs to be fixed somehow before etch (along with a rebuild of linux-modules-extra-2.6), so I'm willing to live with it if my other patch is deemed unacceptable. Bastian: you were the only one with a negative remark[1] about my previous approach. I'm really looking for some feedback from you about my first patch in this report (which modifies linux-kbuild-2.6). Your comment[1] was insufficient for me to understand the flaw of that approach. I'd really like to avoid a commit/revert cycle by coming to a consensus via e-mail first.
