This is the problem a lot of architectures will see:
Specifically this:
LD vmlinux.o
lib/lib.a(show_mem.o): In function `show_mem':
(.text.show_mem+0x0): multiple definition of `show_mem'
arch/parisc/mm/built-in.o:(.text.show_mem+0x0): first defined here
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1
Caused by this patch:
commit ddd588b5dd55f14320379961e47683db4e4c1d90

oom: suppress nodes that are not allowed from meminfo on oom kill
Is the cause. What it does is introduce a new __show_mem() which is
required by files in mm/, so the object containing it: show_mem.o gets
pulled in all the time in the link and that gives every architecture
that implements their own show_mem() a link failure because of the
double definition. Library linking works at the file level, not at the
function level. To work, you have to put these functions in separate
files.
