There was a later update that fixed this.  You should have the following
in include/linux/cpumask.h particularly line 291.


e56b3bc7 (Linus Torvalds         2008-07-28 11:32:33 -0700 285) /*
e56b3bc7 (Linus Torvalds         2008-07-28 11:32:33 -0700 286)  * In cases where we take the address of the cpumask immediately,

^1da177e (Linus Torvalds         2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 291)

If 1eddd657 is there, would you send the config?

Dave - I just re-verified that allyesconfig builds with lot's of warnings but no errors.

Thanks,
Mike
