The patch titled
kbuild wierdness with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
kbuild-export-type-enhancement-to-modpostc-fix.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx
It looks like a buggy comparison down in the guts of
kbuild-export-type-enhancement-to-modpostc.patch - it's doing something
really odd when it hits a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
