Hello, As described in the post http://marc.info/?l=linux-next&m=129478755528194&w=2 setting CONFIG_NLS=m (generated by 'make allmodconfig) is causing a build failure on linux-next as following while compiling the patch http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=129313294112736&w=1 ([PATCH V2] Export ACPI _DSM provided firmware instance number and string to sysfs) drivers/built-in.o: In function `dsm_label_utf16s_to_utf8s': /usr/src/Linux-Next/linux-next/drivers/pci/pci-label.c:195: undefined reference to `utf16s_to_utf8s' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 The drivers/pci/pci-label.c is compiled as part of vmlinux as defined by the makefile drivers/pci/Makefile. # # ACPI Related PCI FW Functions # ACPI _DSM provided firmware instance and string name # obj-$(CONFIG_ACPI) += pci-acpi.o pci-label.o # SMBIOS provided firmware instance and labels obj-$(CONFIG_DMI) += pci-label.o This could be prevented by one of the following methods - * forcing CONFIG_NLS=y if CONFIG_PCI=y * move `utf16s_to_utf8s' out of nls_base.c to a new file to be always built into vmlinux Please correct me if i missed something here and let me know what would be the right way to fix this build failure.
