Sorry for the noise Looks like something very odd is happening here. Seems like stat is giving us the wrong size. As seen below, ls reports the file size to be 5247 whereas st.stat indicates a size substantially larger than that. Output from make with attached patch applied: $ ls -l scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -rw-r--r-- 1 bgamari bgamari 5247 2010-11-07 11:35 scripts/basic/.fixdep.d $ make V=1 In file included from /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/stdlib.h:903, from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:112: /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/stdlib.h:65: warning: no previous prototype for âptsname_râ file=scripts/basic/.fixdep.d st.size=2ad5f6cecb36 map=0x2ad5f6fe4000, len=2ad5f6cecb36 m=0x2ad5f6fe4000, end=0x55abedcd0b36 eh?=2ad5f6fe4000 map=0x2ad5f6fe4000, len=2ad5f6cecb36, end=0x55abedcd0b36 m=0x2ad5f6fe4009 A: p=0x2ad5f6fe400a, end=0x55abedcd0b36, str=scripts/basic/fixdep.c \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/sys/types.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/features.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/types.h \ /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.3/include/stddef.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/time.h \ [SNIP] B: p=0x2ad5f6fe53e1, end=0x55abedcd0b36 C: p=0x2ad5f6fe53e1, s=/usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/asm/sockios.h m=0x2ad5f6fe53e2 m=0x2ad5f6fe53e3 m=0x2ad5f6fe53e4 A: p=0x2ad5f6fe53e5, end=0x55abedcd0b36, str=/usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/socket2.h \ /usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/in.h B: p=0x2ad5f6fe5432, end=0x55abedcd0b36 C: p=0x2ad5f6fe5432, s=/usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/socket2.h m=0x2ad5f6fe5433 m=0x2ad5f6fe5434 m=0x2ad5f6fe5435 A: p=0x2ad5f6fe5436, end=0x55abedcd0b36, str=/usr/local/angstrom/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/bits/in.h /bin/sh: line 1: 8456 Bus error scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/.fixdep.d scripts/basic/fixdep 'gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/basic/.fixdep.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/basic/fixdep.c ' > scripts/basic/.fixdep.tmp make[2]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 135 make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'.
