Nope, I'm building this on x86-64 which warns on this type of thing all the time.
My .config looks like this:
# # Android # CONFIG_ANDROID=y CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y CONFIG_ASHMEM=y CONFIG_ANDROID_LOGGER=m CONFIG_ANDROID_PERSISTENT_RAM=y CONFIG_ANDROID_RAM_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_ANDROID_TIMED_OUTPUT=y # CONFIG_ANDROID_TIMED_GPIO is not set CONFIG_ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER=y CONFIG_ANDROID_SWITCH=m CONFIG_ANDROID_SWITCH_GPIO=m CONFIG_ANDROID_INTF_ALARM=y CONFIG_ANDROID_INTF_ALARM_DEV=y CONFIG_ANDROID_ALARM_OLDDRV_COMPAT=y
And I can't duplicate this at all. Could the recent fixes that John sent me be the reason? Or something else?
thanks,
greg k-h
