Currently, I know Linus' tree builds fine for most ARM platforms (thanks to the ARM kautobuild project.) However, I'm seeing unexpected build failures that don't make sense from the linux-next project. I've just wound my tree back to a "pristine" state for linux-next, and plan to wait for its next build to check whether its me or something else causing it. What I'm referring to is: s3c2410_defconfig's showing: include/asm/arch/map.h:16:30: error: asm/plat-s3c/map.h: No such file or directory which, if its including it via include/ shouldn't be happening because plat-s3c hasn't moved from include/asm(-arm)/, the same as include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410 hasn't moved in linux-next yet. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
