[gentoo-dev] Kernel build error on gentoo-alpha

[Christian Plessl]

I'm having trouble compiling linux kernel linux-2.4.19-r2 (which is the 
latest kernel from sys-kernel/alpha-sources).

The problem arises when making the files in the mm subdirectory, see 
attached error message. It seems that there is a problem with the 
super_page_populate macro.

Did anybody succeed in compiling a linux-2.4.19-r2 kernel from 
alpha-sources?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
 Christian
