The original kbuild issue went in via
merge commit 84d69848c97faab0c25aa2667b273404d2e2a64a which notes:
- EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.
This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
working on a patch to fix this.
Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
change prototypes.
Adding Nicholas in the cc, hopefully he can give a status update.
Kind regards,
Peter
