| |
linux-2.2.13pre9/include/net/irda/irda.h defines a macro named DEBUG, and the drivers/net/sk98lin/skge.c indirectly includes this file when it pulls in some general networking-related .h files. Unfortunately, a number of files in the sk98lin subdirectory use DEBUG as a flag that enables debugging and indicates that a number of other #defines have been made. Of course, these other defines were not made, so the compile bombs out.
I believe the correct fix is for irda to use a different macro name, since defining a symbol as generic as "DEBUG" in a .h file that is pulled in by a lot of drivers is probably producing little bits of chaos in other parts of the kernel that nobody has noticed.
