Hello I do not have post access to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so I try to send it here instead.
I tested to compile the kernel from the mips kernel CVS last night, and it stopped with the following error. The error line is "EXPORT_SYMBOL(<symbol>');". The object rrm.o must be added to export-objs. Patch below. make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-cvs/drivers/sgi/char' gcc -I /usr/src/linux-cvs/include/asm/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-cvs/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=r4600 -mips2 -Wa,--trap -pipe -DMODULE -mlong-calls -c -o rrm.o rrm.c Assembler messages: Warning: The -mcpu option is deprecated.
