That's what's happening here; we're __powerpc64__ and !__KERNEL__, tools/kvm/include/linux/types.h includes asm/types.h so gets the int-l64.h definition of __u64, as above. :/ builtin-run.c:389: error: format `%llx' expects type `long long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type `u64' etc. etc. Cheers, Matt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
