Hello, I encountered a problem on a ppc machine when trying to build the kernel modules for the LINX ipc framework. The output of make is: % make # ARCH=ppc # KERNEL=/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-powerpc/build # VERBOSE=no make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-28-powerpc' CC [M] /home/poly/tpjb/linx-2.5.0/net/linx/af_linx.o Arch ppc is not supported with CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD at /usr/src/linux-hea ders-2.6.32-28-powerpc/scripts/recordmcount.pl line 249. make[2]: *** [/home/poly/tpjb/linx-2.5.0/net/linx/af_linx.o] Error 255 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/poly/tpjb/linx-2.5.0/net/linx] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-28-powerpc' make: *** [modules] Error 2 As you can see the ARCH variable is set to ppc, but the recordmcount.pl script only treats the case when "uname -m" return powerpc. When the script was modified to accept the "ppc" variant as well the build was successful.
