When running make on gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r1 (possibly earlier versions as well), it fails to compile with reiser4. The failure is on the file_conversion.o file. Applying the patch at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/fs-symlink-write_begin-allocation-context-fix-reiser4-fix.patch solves the problem. This should be included in the ebuild along with the other patch that is already there. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="reiser4" emerge gentoo-sources 2. make
gentoo-sources does not have reiser4 use flag
