Hello Everyone, I posted to this mailing list this morning (well, it was morning for me, about 12 hours ago?). My post has yet to show up. Anyway, here are the details of the compiler error that I get when trying to compile an unpatched linux kernel (from ftp.kernel.org) on a sparc64 box with a brand new install of Gentoo Linux.
Does anyone else have this problem? If I were to regress gcc, what version should I fall back to? Does anyone have a suggested fix? I'm a good c/c++ programmer; I'm willing to take a whack at this. I'm just looking for some guidence or pointers if anyone has any. Thank you for your time. wopr src # rm linux wopr src # ln -s linux-2.6.11-rc3/ linux wopr src # cd linux wopr linux # make CHK include/linux/version.h CC init/main.o In file included from include/linux/module.h:10, from init/main.c:16: include/linux/sched.h: In function `lock_need_resched': include/linux/sched.h:1127: error: request for member `break_lock' in something not a structure or union make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 make: *** [init] Error 2 wopr linux # gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1) Copyright (C) 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
