Subject: [PATCH]-2.6.10-rc2: Fix Link Error osst.o, st.o
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 01:57:18 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4199CEFE.7060800@compuserve.com> (raw)

After patching up to 2.6.10-rc2, I get the following error when 
building the kernel with gcc 2.95:

drivers/scsi/osst.o(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `ST_partstat'
drivers/scsi/st.o(.bss+0x0): first defined here
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/built-in.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2

The error occurs because the change from 'typedef struct {...} 
ST_buffer;' to 'struct st_buffer {...} ST_buffer;' causes storage to 
be allocated more than once.

The fix is to just remove the 'ST_buffer' part from the changed 
structure definition.

Here's the patch to drivers/scsi/st.h:
