current TIP/master doesn't build on SLES10

Hi

compiling TIP/master (44bc8c4f500fce7263803b4acd016fa03cf8a91a) on
SLES10 fails with the following build error:

arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:1181: Error: too many positional arguments
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S:1181: Error: too many positional arguments
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2

I've bisected it to commit df5d1874ce1a1f0e0eceff4fa3a9d45620243a68.

Reverting it fixes the issue. 

I know that this is caused by binutils 2.16.91.0.5 which is distributed
with SLES10.

.config is attached.

Thanks,
Conny

I'm generally doing almost all of my work on SLE10, and have not run
into this issue. Are you sure you've got it fully updated?

BTW, the build error looks similar to the build problem fixed by

  commit e8a0e27662186f8856a0a6242e7a8386c9a64a53
  Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
  Date:   Fri Nov 21 15:11:32 2008 +0100

    x86: clean up after: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros, fix

It definitely sounds like the binutils 2.16 brainscrewage, perhaps one
of the question is for you: what version is on your system...

Well, yes of course... it can be summarized as "macros in binutils 2.16
are broken beyond anyone's wildest beliefs".

Just for the record:
The binutils from SLES10 SP3 (2.16.91.0.5-23.34.33) have fixed the build
issue for me.

Thanks,

OK, thanks for confirming that.  Presumably it contains a backport of
some fix.
