100-kernel_cflags.patch. This should fix the problem above.
Thank you very much for your help. But minutes before you posted this I
was able to figure that out. But changing '''hal/public/mips-le-elf.inc'''
's '''71st line''' to '''COPTS+= -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mips32 -Wa,
--trap \''' fails to compile. If it is '''COPTS+= -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-
pic -mips32r2 -Wa,--trap \''', it compiles fine.
Making the above modification I was able to successfully compile the
driver. Also install them on my board. The modules I installed are :-

'''$ wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta'''
'''$ iwconfig'''
