SubjectCompile error: arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:1422: Error: .size expression does not evaluate to a constant
Date
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


2.6.38-rc6 compiled just fine, 2.6.38-rc7, -rc8 and the released
2.6.38 all got this error, with gcc 4.4 and after Debian Unstable
updated to gcc 4.5:

arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:1422: Error: .size expression does not
evaluate to a constant make[3]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.o]
Error 1

I searched for this error and saw this had been posted to the LKML:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1347760

This was when the error happened in -rc7, but it was not fixed
for -rc8 or the released stable.

I'm just a user, not a developer, but I figure if its happening to me
with very generic tools it may be happening to other people who don't
use git, who don't apply patches, and such.

I don't have the warewithall to subscribe to the LKML, so I would be
obliged if you would copy me on any replies. I would be glad to
supply any further information if needed.
