Subject: [PATCH .36-rc8] a.out: Fix module build failure
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 04:34:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101015023404.GA348@elte.hu> (raw)

The recent aout fix causes a modular build failure on x86 
(allmodconfig):

ERROR: "dump_seek" [fs/binfmt_aout.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "dump_write" [fs/binfmt_aout.ko] undefined!

Export these symbols.
