wrong sym link with out-of-tree build with 2.6.28

wrong sym link with out-of-tree build with 2.6.28

[xming]

Hi,

I am building kernels on x86 and there is a problems with include2/asm
symbolic link
when building the with 'make O=./HOST".

- with 2.6.28.x the include/asm-x86 is moved to arch/x86/include/asm
  so this code is no more valid:
  ln -fsn $(srctree)/include/asm-$(SRCARCH) include2/asm;

That line of code should be made ARCH aware? I don't know how to do that, I can
only change that for x86 only.

BTW: I am not subscribed to lkml, please CC when replying, thanks

Please have a look at this thread:

I think Sam explained there. Thanks.

Thanks, but what should we (as normal users) do? I can't build kvm
(not the in-kernel one)
with that wrong (non existent) sym link. Is that a problem that should
be fixed by kvm or
kernel devs?
