Trying to build current Linus git tree (head at 
ac07860264bd2b18834d3fa3be47032115524cea) using the attached config 
file (generated by 'make randconfig') the build fails for me with :

I'm sorry that linux-scsi is a write-only list for you, but this error
has been reported at least twice already, and a more polite response was
received by each of those reporters.

I know I should have searched the archives, but it was late at night
and I just wanted to get the problem reported so I didn't forget about
it, so I didn't. Better it gets reported a few times than not at
all...

Next time I'll just leave it for the next day to do the archive search
and hope I don't forget about it.
