The patch titled From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kbuild-fix-gcc-x-syntax.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@xxxxxxx> The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.
