• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2008-09-22 12:55:52 UTC]

During build of 2.6.22-r10 I've encountered the following error:
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1

kernel/built-in.o: In function `getnstimeofday':

This bug was fixed later with the following commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=38332cb98772f5ea757e6486bed7ed0381cb5f98#patch1

but this patch is not included in 2.6.22-r10, 2.6.23-r9.Please,apply to genkernel patchset.

I don't see us doing another 2.6.22 or 2.6.23 gentoo-sources release. If anyone on the kernel team disagrees and wants to do another release then they are free to reopen and address.
