[uml-devel] Broken compiling under 2.6.12-rc2 on my machine

[Ian McDonald <imcdnzl@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I have applied 2.6.12-rc2 patches against 2.6.11 and gone to compile
and it fails...

Here is what I have done:
make menuconfig ARCH=um
Added in hostfs, UML networking - daemon (but also tried with these
off, no difference)
make linux ARCH=um

Output:
  HOSTCC  usr/gen_init_cpio
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
  UPD     usr/initramfs_list
  CPIO    usr/initramfs_data.cpio
  GZIP    usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
  AS      usr/initramfs_data.o
  LD      usr/built-in.o
  CC      arch/um/kernel/checksum.o
  QUOTE   arch/um/kernel/config.tmp
  QUOTE   arch/um/kernel/config.c
sed: -e expression #4, char 2: Extra characters after command
make[1]: *** [arch/um/kernel/config.c] Error 1
make: *** [arch/um/kernel] Error 2

and here is the file arch/um/kernel/.config.tmp.cmd that gets created
which I am guessing has the sed error
cmd_arch/um/kernel/config.tmp := sed -e 's/"/\\"/g' -e 's/^/"/' -e
's/$$/\\n"/' /home/iam4/linuxsrc/linux-2.6.12-rc2/.config >
arch/um/kernel/config.tmp

config.c also is 0 characters length

I can supply any other files needed.
System is Debian Woody, gcc 2.95.4

I don't know much yet about sed or the kernel build process but can
look into if nobody else makes sense of this. Just thought it was good
to get it out there considering it doesn't compile and rc2 has just
come out.

And UML does compile under 2.6.11 with a patch for gcc (which is
include in 2.6.12-rc4). Haven't yet tried 2.6.12-rc1 but can do later
if this will help.

Ian
