2.4.1-ac12 compile failure on sparc64

[ASN Stevens, Computing Service]

Hi - I am having compilation troubles on my sparc64 workstation (standard 
Ultra 5 machine), which is currently running stock 2.4.1 on Red Hat 6.2 quite 
happily.

I have tried upgrading to -ac10 and now -ac12, but both fail during 
compilation (using gcc-2.91.66-sparc) at the same point, in what appears to 
be the sparc32 syscall conversion code:

----------------------------------------------------------
sparc64-linux-gcc -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include 
-m64 -mcpu=ultrasparc -Wa,--undeclared-regs -ansi -c sys32.S -o sys32.o

sparc64-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include 
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -m64 
-pipe -mno-fpu -mcpu=ultrasparc -mcmodel=medlow -ffixed-g4 -fcall-used-g5 
-fcall-used-g7 -Wno-sign-compare -Wa,--undeclared-regs
-c -o sys_sparc32.o sys_sparc32.c

sys_sparc32.c: In function `sys32_quotactl':
sys_sparc32.c:907: storage size of `d' isn't known
sys_sparc32.c:907: warning: unused variable `d'
sys_sparc32.c: In function `sys32_nfsservctl':
sys_sparc32.c:3791: warning: implicit declaration of function `sys_ni_syscall'

make[1]: *** [sys_sparc32.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/sparc64/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/sparc64/kernel] Error 2
----------------------------------------------------------

I have tried it 3 times now, with clean source trees, so there's clearly a 
problem somewhere. Please be gentle - I'm not a coder, and this is my first 
post to the kernel list :)

Regards
Alastair
