First of all, my build using your kernel config file builds -- no errors,
just plenty of warnings.  I am using gcc version 4.7.2.  What gcc version
are you using?

mbcache.c uses __builtin_log2().  Maybe your gcc version does not support
that builtin function.

@tmac:  can mbcache.c #include <linux/log2.h> and use ilog2(NR_BG_LOCKS)
instead of using __builtin_log2(NR_BG_LOCKS) ?

Please use return/line feed every 70-72 characters instead of assuming that
all email clients will display the text correctly.  They don't.
