[BUG] 2.6.37-rc8 build failure on Alpha

[BUG] 2.6.37-rc8 build failure on Alpha

[Bob Tracy]

This probably happened before -rc8, but was not an issue for 2.6.36.

The 2.6.37-rc8 kernel build on alpha fails as follows:

(...)

  AS      arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o

A patch that fixes this was posted to linux-alpha some time ago (see
http://www.spinics.net/linux/lists/linux-alpha/msg00710.html).  I am not
sure why it hasn't made it through to Linus as yet.

Cheers
Michael.

Thanks, Michael.  I figured I probably missed that particular needle
whilst perusing the haystack :-).

I haven't had much time for alpha things, so I haven't been keeping up
with patches lately. I'll send everything in my patch queue to Linus
for the .38 merge window.

Please send Ivan's patch to Linus directly, and CC Ivan so he can give
his Signed-off-by tag.

Thanks Michael and Bob.
