[Comment 1 solar (RETIRED) 2006-06-16 04:36:07 UTC]

Which headers version?

[Comment 2 Austin Morgan 2006-06-16 05:08:00 UTC]

Oops, linux-headers-2.6.16

[Comment 3 solar (RETIRED) 2006-06-16 05:19:41 UTC]

I thought this was already fixed by .16

[Comment 4 Joshua Kinard 2006-06-16 06:09:06 UTC]

Try passing -DKBUILD_NO_NLS -- There's an ifdef block that screens out the libintl.h include if this is present.

[Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) 2006-06-16 09:08:46 UTC]

Created attachment 89320 [details, diff]
linux-headers-2.6.16-no-nls.patch

Works in my testing.. I don't see any reason why to force nls for building linux 
kernel headers so I would just enable this blindly for all headers here on out.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2006-06-16 13:09:33 UTC]

nls is only used in the menuconfig stuff so disabling it for all headers is sane

[Comment 7 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2006-06-18 12:26:01 UTC]

Looks good, feel free to add it to files/ in CVS (or wait for me to get round to the next patchset).

Works for me.  Thank you for the prompt assistance.

Fixed in 2.6.17 headers, thanks!
