When I triggered a re-build of the affected .S files it worked.
(I am used to kbuild handle all dependencies so well...)
Solution seems simple:
- Add missing includes and missing prototypes.
- Include the asm-prototypes in the relevant .S files to trigger rebuild
when the asm-prototype file changes.
I will prepare a patch and submit it to the sparc list.
