2.4.8 compile error on sparc

2.4.8 compile error on sparc

Hello.  Just downloaded linux-2.4.8.tar.bz2 and tried to build it on my
SPARCstation 5 running SuSE Linux 7.1 for sparc.

during the build (started with "make dep && make vmlinux && make
modules"), it dies with the following messages:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.8/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -m32 -pipe -mno-fpu -fcall-used-g5 -fcall-used-g7    -c -o extable.o extable.c
extable.c: In function `search_exception_table':
extable.c:60: `modlist_lock' undeclared (first use in this function)
extable.c:60: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
extable.c:60: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [extable.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.8/arch/sparc/mm'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.8/arch/sparc/mm'
make: *** [_dir_arch/sparc/mm] Error 2

Are there sparc-specific patches that I need to hunt down still?  I was
under the impression everything's been merged.

Checking the versions of my installed software against the versions
required as listed in /usr/src/linux/Documents/Changes, everything seems
up-to-date. I was attempting a fairly all-inclusive build, heavy on the
modules wherever possible, so as to support all my sparcstations with one
build.

Any help is appreciated.

Apply this patch which is from sparc64:

After that I still get undefined .udiv/.umul symbols from depmod? Somebody
said it was a bug in depmod, but I hadn't had the time to check if it
boots.

Already in 2.4.9-pre1, but that won't build for other reasons :-)
