That error is being triggered by the '-D' option with no value (it is right after '-DLINK_BYTE_WRITE'. The '7' is referring to the 7th -D option on the command line. Now if you count, you'll see the the bare '-D' is the 4th one. But 4 is not 7 you say. Yes, but you are looking at the wrong command line. It is the 7th '-D' option to cc1. If you add a '-v' to that gcc command, it'll show the cc1 command line. There you'll find 3 extra '-D' arguments before any of the others. And 3+4 does equal 7. Not the best error messages. I don't know what the '1' in the error is referring to. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
