I have tried to build the full compat-wireless-2008-04-20 for OpenWRT on
Intel ixp4xx Platfrom (armv5te, xscale), but I got the following error.
The parts before this were all like on the ofter architectures.
This was made with gcc 4.1.2 and kernel 2.6.24.2

This is a bug in file2alias.c
A fix is already sent upstream. It might be in -mm. I'm not sure.
