[gentoo-user] can't compile kernel

[Sven Köhler]

Hi!,

my gentoo just suprised me with the following:

gwinet linux # pwd
/usr/src/linux
gwinet linux # make all
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `set -e; echo '  CHK     include/linux/version.h';
mkdir -p include/linux/;        if [ `echo -n "2.6.17.3 .file null
.ident GCC:(GNU)4.1.1(Gentoo4.1.1) .section .note.GNU-stack,,@progbits"
| wc -c ` -gt 64 ]; then echo '"2.6.17.3 .file null .ident
GCC:(GNU)4.1.1(Gentoo4.1.1) .section .note.GNU-stack,,@progbits" exceeds
64 characters' >&2; exit 1; fi; (echo \#define UTS_RELEASE \"2.6.17.3
.file null .ident GCC:(GNU)4.1.1(Gentoo4.1.1) .section
.note.GNU-stack,,@progbits\"; echo \#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE `expr 2
\\* 65536 + 6 \\* 256 + 17`; echo '#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a)
<< 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))'; ) < /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.3/Makefile >
include/linux/version.h.tmp; if [ -r include/linux/version.h ] && cmp -s
include/linux/version.h include/linux/version.h.tmp; then rm -f
include/linux/version.h.tmp; else echo '  UPD
include/linux/version.h'; mv -f include/linux/version.h.tmp
include/linux/version.h; fi'
make: *** [include/linux/version.h] Error 2


Hooray!

So what could i have changed, that there is that unexpected token "("
now? I compiled that kernel pretty often. And now none of the kernels
compiles - but they used to!

Any clue what might have changed?

My guess is, that this (GNU)4.1.1(Gentoo4.1.1) causes troubles.

I'm helpless :-(
