Hi folks,
Ever since kernel 1547 I've been unable to create ntfs rpms using the
maintainers build script. The output from the script is as follows:
-------<snip>--------
CC [M] fs/ntfs/usnjrnl.o
LD [M] fs/ntfs/ntfs.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
/bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 127
make: *** [modules] Error 2
I noticed the following in the changelog:

[PATCH] kbuild: modpost needs to cope with new glibc elf header on sparc
Recently a change in the glibc elf.h header has been introduced causing
modpost to spawn tons of warnings (like the one below) building the
kernel
on sparc:
[SNIP]
*** Warning: "current_thread_info_reg"
[net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
*** Warning: "" [net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko] undefined!
[SNIP]
Ben Collins discovered that the STT_REGISTERED definition in glibc did
change
and that this change needs to be propagated to modpost.
glibc change:
-#define STT_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to
app. */
+#define STT_SPARC_REGISTER 13 /* Global register reserved to
app. */
I did and tested this simple patch to maintain compatibility with newer
(>= 2.3.4)
and older (<= 2.3.2) glibc.

but I cant understand why this would cause the build script to fail. If
someone else can shed some light on it I would appreciate their
investigation. The instructions for building an rpm for can be found at:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/build.html
Thanks,
---sig and possibly controversial political statement follows :/ ---
