I am seeing this exact same error on 2.6.28-rc8

I ran across this (or a similar) error recently and just compiling on
a different kernel seemed to fix it.

Is there something about compiling on a specific kernel that can cause
a problem?
I did do re-do a ./configure and also checked with make clean with a
couple attempts, but keep
coming back to this error.

Is is something fundamental? compiler problem? user error?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers,
Todd
