2.6.12-mm1 compile failure on PPC64

2.6.12-mm1 compile failure on PPC64

[Martin J. Bligh]

kernel/built-in.o(.init.text+0x440): In function `.sched_cacheflush':
: undefined reference to `.cacheflush'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
06/20/05-01:28:25 Build the kernel. Failed rc = 2
06/20/05-01:28:25 build: kernel build Failed rc = 1
06/20/05-01:28:25 command complete: (2) rc=126
Failed and terminated the run
 Fatal error, aborting autorun

Works with some configs, but not this one:

http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mbligh/config/abat/p570

I'm guessing :

scheduler-cache-hot-autodetect.patch

the patch below (from akpm) should fix this:

That patch is already in 2.6.12-mm1, so it's not covering all cases
for some reason.
