Hi Greg.
The compiler I used it's still the same I used in the past (i.e., gcc 3.2.1):
/usr/local/cris/bin/cris-axis-linux-gnu-gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/cris/lib/gcc-lib/cris-axis-linux-gnu/3.2.1/specs Configured with: /home/cii/cris-dist/./gnu-toplev/configure --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --disable-nls --target=cris-axis-linux-gnu --without-newlib --with-headers=installed --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr/local/cris Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2.1 Axis release R64/1.64
It's contained inside the cris-dist_1.64-1_i386.deb package. I don't know if a newer compiler has been made available by the Axis group.
However, I never found this issue when compiling /fs/proc/meminfo.c in the past. Therefore, I couldn't find the same error in drivers/base/node.c either.
I suspect that /fs/proc/meminfo.c has been recently changed, and then the same (old) compiler started complaining.
The two patches I have sent are very trivial, but allow to fix those build problems.
Best regards,
Claudio
