> > Have you got your sources properly installes so that include/asm is > a symlink to include/asm-mips? Yes, include/asm is symlinked to include/asm-mips. Let me provide a little more detail. I did not want to modify head.S (since this is a kernel file) but I noticed an undefined macro, kernel_entry_setup # cpu specific setup and the include #include <kernel-entry-init.h> I found at least one kernel-entry-init.h file in a hardware specific directory so I made my own under include/asm-mips/rb500 and added a line to the Makefile. Within kernel-entry-init.h are the include for cacheops.h as well as the macro definition. regdef.h is included in head.s. > I've done the experiment at my end, > and it builds just fine so long as regdef.h and cacheops.h are really > on the include path of the compilation.
