The ebuild does not compile when Linux kernel 2.6.27 is installed (currently, only the vanilla kernel 2.6.27 is available, but the gentoo variant will follow soon). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Linux kernel 2.6.27 installed. 2. emerge pcfclock Actual Results: Emerge fails. Two reasons: 1. Header file "asm/semaphore.h" was obsoleted for some time already, as stub to linux/semaphore.h. Finally, in 2.6.27 it has been removed completely. 2. The device API changed again (additional parameter). This is more fatal than 1 because it is only visible as compiler warning, but leads to wrong pointer arg assignments! Expected Results: emerge should succeed (and compile module correctly).

Created attachment 167882 [details, diff] Patch for kernel 2.6.27 Attaching a proposed patch to make the ebuild also compile against kernel 2.6.27 (and earlier). It should replace pcfclock-0.44-kernel-2.6.26.diff in the ebuild.
new revision in portage. Thanks!
