Hi; I now this is off topic and not specific to Debian. But has anyone else here been having problems compiling a recent (2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4, ac, pre etc) kernel on a sparc32? I haven't had any luck and always get the following:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-sparc/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -m32 -pipe -mno-fpu -fcall-used-g5 -fcall-used-g7 -c -o memory.o memory.c memory.c:183: macro `pmd_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:204: macro `pte_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:668: macro `pte_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:693: macro `pmd_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:748: macro `pte_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:775: macro `pmd_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:1282: macro `pmd_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:1285: macro `pte_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c:1335: macro `pte_alloc' used with too many (3) args memory.c: In function `copy_page_range': memory.c:183: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pmd_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:183: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pmd_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c:204: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pte_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:204: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pte_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `zeromap_pmd_range': memory.c:668: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pte_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:668: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pte_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `zeromap_page_range': memory.c:693: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pmd_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:693: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pmd_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `remap_pmd_range': memory.c:748: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pte_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:748: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pte_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `remap_page_range': memory.c:775: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pmd_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:775: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pmd_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `handle_mm_fault': memory.c:1282: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pmd_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:1282: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pmd_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c:1285: warning: passing arg 1 of `___f_pte_alloc' from incompatible pointer type memory.c:1285: warning: passing arg 2 of `___f_pte_alloc' makes integer from pointer without a cast memory.c: In function `__pmd_alloc': memory.c:1307: warning: implicit declaration of function `pmd_alloc_one_fast' memory.c:1307: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast memory.c:1310: warning: implicit declaration of function `pmd_alloc_one' memory.c:1310: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast memory.c:1324: warning: implicit declaration of function `pgd_populate' memory.c: At top level: memory.c:1336: conflicting types for `___f_pte_alloc' /usr/src/linux-sparc/include/asm/pgalloc.h:125: previous declaration of `___f_pte_alloc' memory.c: In function `___f_pte_alloc': memory.c:1341: warning: implicit declaration of function `pte_alloc_one_fast' memory.c:1341: `address' undeclared (first use in this function) memory.c:1341: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once memory.c:1341: for each function it appears in.) memory.c:1341: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast memory.c:1344: warning: implicit declaration of function `pte_alloc_one' memory.c:1344: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast memory.c:1358: warning: implicit declaration of function `pmd_populate' make[3]: *** [memory.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-sparc/mm' make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-sparc/mm' make[1]: *** [_dir_mm] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-sparc' make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2 Any pointeres appreciated.
