Link error: function "cmpxchg" is not defined

Link error: function "cmpxchg" is not defined

Hi,

I'm trying to complile 2.4.24 patched against acpi-20040311-2.4.24.diff.gz.

When it comes to link I get:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ld -m elf_i386 -T /build/cvs-autoreleasedeb/kernel-image-2.4.24-i386-multimedia-2.4.24/build-386/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o init/do_mounts.o \

Is there some specific kernel option I have to set in .config in order
to get cmpxchg defined?

Thanks,

IIRC this was an obscure dependency on CONFIG_SMP, but I thought we
fixed this some time back.

I'm surprised you're seeing this, I build 32 different 2.4.24 kernels
with the current patch.

If after a make clean and a download of the latest patch (sorry, same
name;-) you still see the error, then please email me your .config.

thanks,
-Len
