Ick, why would you want to compile the kernel with the intel compiler?

There are over 10000 different changes between those two versions, all
of which are public.  I suggest you work on doing a 'git bisect' to
narrow down the problem to the offending change.

Also, this is a linux-kernel issue, not a Moblin-specific one.  Try
asking stuff like this, after you have found the problem change, on the
[email protected] mailing list.

But note, the upstream developers do not support building the kernel
with Intel's compiler, so odds are, you are on your own for trying to do
something as crazy as this :)

best of luck,

greg k-h
