Re: compile error with 2.6.7-rc3-mm1

[Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>]

Try doing the make with V=1

  make V=1 drivers/perfctr/x86.o

Determine the exact compilation line (perhaps a couple hundred chars
long) that issues the error, then manually repeat that line manually
(cut+paste), adding the option "-save-temps".

This will look something similar to the following, which I generated for
a different file, different compilation environment (I added the wrapping
and backslashes for display purposes here):

    gcc -save-temps -Wp,-MD,kernel/.cpuset.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix \
    include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs \
    -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -msoft-float \
    -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  -march=pentium4 -mregparm=3 \
    -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer \ 
    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=cpuset -DKBUILD_MODNAME=cpuset -c -o kernel/cpuset.o \
    kernel/cpuset.c

Then look at the ./x86.i file (in top directory), which is the
preprocessor output, to see if the (cpumask_t) cast is present.
