please help me, fedora make modules error

please help me, fedora make modules error

[Xun Ouyang]

After I install ncurses-devel, I used the command menuconfig, but I did not 
change anything, just the default value, and then , "make modules'


[root@linux123 wireless-testing]# make modules
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/at76c50x-usb.o
In file included from drivers/net/wireless/at76c50x-usb.c:46:0:
include/net/mac80211.h: In function ‘ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status’:
include/net/mac80211.h:639:2: error: size of unnamed array is negative
include/net/mac80211.h:644:2: error: size of unnamed array is negative
make[3]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/at76c50x-usb.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/wireless] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

The content in line 639 and 644 are all:like 
BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct XXXXXXX) !=XXX);

If I comment this line out, it "seems" this problem fixed.
And I tried to make modules again, the same error(BUILD_BUG_ON
(offsetof(struct XXXXXXX) !=XXX);)  came out but different
file, different lines.And repeatedly.
I do not think there are so many error that need to be fixed since I
just change a few lines of codes which seems unrelated to theses errors.

  
I really do not know what to do.Anyone can help me? Thank you so much.

What kernel are you using?

This problem is fixed in the latest version from wireless-testing.
