Bug 34038 – gentoo-sources kernel fails to correctly create include/linux/compile.h

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description George Barbarosie 2003-11-21 10:27:35 UTC]

in root Makefile, the command "tail -1" will fail with coreutils-5.0.91-r1
installed; "tail -1" complains

tail: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `tail --help' for more information.

The fix is obvious and backwards-compatible; and yes, should go into the vanilla
kernel if not already there; this probably affects all 2.4 kernels (i've just
tested gentoo-sources though)

The result of this bug is that compile.h no longer contains gcc version info;
alsa-driver-0.9.8 is directly affected by this;



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
cat /usr/src/linux/include/linux/compile.h

Actual Results:  
#define UTS_VERSION "#1 Fri Nov 21 22:16:46 EET 2003"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_TIME "22:16:46"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_BY "root"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_HOST "lancelot"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_DOMAIN "bucharest.cyberembryonic.com"
#define LINUX_COMPILER ""


Expected Results:  
#define UTS_VERSION "#1 Fri Nov 21 22:16:46 EET 2003"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_TIME "22:16:46"
#define LINUX_COMPILE_BY "root"

#define LINUX_COMPILER "gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r2,

[Comment 1 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) 2003-11-21 11:51:27 UTC]

This is correct in gentoo-test-sources which will become gentoo-sources very soon.

[Comment 2 George Barbarosie 2003-12-09 04:24:16 UTC]

As noted in comment#1, this bug has been fixed in gentoo-sources-2.4.22 and gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1.
