Still have build error on 2.6.2 fc/proc/array.c

Still have build error on 2.6.2 fc/proc/array.c

[yiding_wang]

Thanks for everyone that replied!

Based on README and requirement of Changes in linux-2.6.2, I have updated needed utilities and other files with the following:
binnutils 2.14
e2fsprogs-1.34
module-init-tools-3.0-pre10
procps 3.1.15

Everything is installed OK.

Then compiling new 2.6.2 kernel still fails wi the following.  What is the upgrade file for this problem?

make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

Your kernel sources and all the mentioned tools are now OK, and probably
were OK already. The only thing that is giving you the error is the
version of the gcc compiler that you use (2.96).

It is the *compiler* (gcc-2.96) that has a bug here. As this version of
gcc has many other bugs developers no longer work around difficulties
this specific version of gcc has.

What you can do is upgrade your gcc package to a later version (3.2.x or
3.3.x or even later from your distribution). As a workaround I've made a
little patch that you can apply to fs/proc/array.c if you still want to
keep using gcc 2.96 for a little while. It's archived here:

Hello Marco,

I got things straighten up by changing the code array.c, followed your example on web.  I also downloaded gcc 3.3.3 but dare to try it now. The gcc 2.96 bug should be described in 2.6.2 Changes file which only mentioned the gcc 2.95 and beyond will be OK,

Thanks!

Eddie
