Hi,
Recently while trying to figure out a separate issue, I did a
make allmodconfig and a make oldconfig with debian's default config on
the 3.10.1 kernel, and debian's config with 3.10.0.
It failed in the wil6210 driver.
The system it failed on is running a fresh install of Debian Sid, with gcc
4.8.1.
This is the error I got:
CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/debugfs.o

please excuse the mangled quotes, fresh install and I negelected to set up
the locale properly. It's fixed now, but it seems I need to restart X for it to
notice.
