5 compile errors for 2.4-BK

5 compile errors for 2.4-BK

[Christian]

every day my scripts compile several kernel from the latest -BK tree,
since oct, 30. there are 5 compile errors shown in:

make[3]: [neighbour.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make[3]: [core.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make[3]: [arp.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make[3]: [ipv4.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make[1]: [first_rule] Error 2 (ignored)

[and that's why these 2 occur too:]

make: [vmlinux] Error 1 (ignored)
make: [zImage] Error 2 (ignored)

full make logs, configs here:
http://www.nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/latest-kernel/
  - make-2.4-i386-BK.log
  - make-2.4-ppc-BK.log
  - errors-2.4-i386-BK.log
  - errors-2.4-ppc-BK.log
  - config-i386-2.4.28-rc1
  - config-ppc-2.4.28-rc1

this is all with debian/unstable, using gcc-3.4.2, binutils-2.15 (both 
for native i386-compiler and cross-compiler)

maybe someone may find this useful...

thanks,
Christian.

This part of the errors alone is useless.

Did you manually change your gcc link or are you using gcc 3.3 ?

Other people already do similar things.

The interesting thing is the exact error message. Your 5 errors are 
actually only two (similar) compile errors.

For being really useful, a posting of the error messages of the two 
actual error messages would be useful. If you trace down who is "guilty" 
for the compile error and Cc the person in question it's even better 
(but please check linux-kernel before being the tenth person reporting 
the same issue).

well, it's a debian system and /etc/alternatives exist. so /usr/bin/gcc
points to /etc/alternatives/gcc and this points to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4
and gcc-3.4 is really gcc-3.4.2:

evil@sheep:~$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (Debian 3.4.2-3)

that's why i posted the url with the exact errors, but i can do it here
too. taken from:
http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/latest-kernel/make-2.4-i386-BK.log

yes, 2 errors, the other ones were only deduced by them.

thanks,
