Hello Steven, I want to test 2.6.25.4-rt2 on ARM, but unfortunately I run into several compile errors. All errors seem to be related to cmpxchg routines -> duplicate definitions or missing BUILD_BUG_ON() or typecheck() macros. I already figured out the missing BUILD_BUG_ON() + typecheck() problem which is caused by including a header 'include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h' in linux/kernel.h before these macros are defined in linux/kernel.h. See below for a piece/snippet of the compiler output. Looking deeper into this, things look quite messy around cmpxchg() on ARM... Any ideas what has been changed here, and why these things can go wrong so badly?
