2.6.21-rc4-mm1 + 3 hot-fixes -- init/.missing_syscalls.h.cmd:2: *** missing separator. Stop.

[Miles Lane]

Hello,

I don't see any announcement for 2.6.21-rc4-mm1 on LKML, but I went
ahead and tried it out.  I hit the following, even after running
mrproper.

init/.missing_syscalls.h.cmd:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 2

I tried your patch.  After applying it, the error still occurred, so
then I performed the other stepa you mentioned:
         rm init/missing_syscalls.h
         make init
I was then able to continue the build successfully.

Hopefully, I'd not need to run the additional steps again.  Otherwise,
the patch needs a little more work.

Thanks,
              Miles

Of course, you have to first delete the corrupted file with this command:
	rm init/.missing_syscalls.h.cmd
The command :
	rm init/missing_syscalls.h
works only once, and you have to redo it at each compile.

This one is not necessary.

unlink the good file (init/.missing_syscalls.h.cmd), not the .h file,
and you won't need to redo it again :-)

I admit I should have said that earlier ;-)


The fact that whole init/ is not compiled again when init/Makefile is
perhaps a bug, but it is unrelated to this bug/patch.

Thanks.
