How should the symbolic links be setup to compile the latest kernel?
Currently I had these links and kernels compiled fine until 2 days ago.
asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/asm-generic/
asm-generic -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/asm-generic
linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/uapi/linux
# make
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

What symlinks? /usr/include/* should not contain any symlinks into
the kernel source. At all.

Al,
Oh, perhaps I'm having the right setup. Where should I get the kernel
headers. After removing the links to the kernel source, here what I
got ...
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
In file included from /usr/include/bits/posix1_lim.h:160:0,

such file or directory

Thanks,
Jeff.

Incidentally, your 'asm' is obviously bogus - the headers that should end
up there ought to come from arch/<whatever>/include/uapi/asm (and _not_
by pointing a symlink to it); yours points to the place where asm-generic
ones ought to have been copied from.

Al,
Thanks for the pointers. Will try as what you suggested:)
Merry Christmas.
