I am compiling 2.6.0-test5 on a Alpha box. I grepped for the phrase 'monotonic_clock' because for some reason the file that was to provide it was missing. The machine is a Alpha EV56 EB164 type, PC164 variation using the 2.95.4. Here is the error message: storri@alpha:$ sudo make vmlinux make[1]: `arch/alpha/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
