Summary:	pax-utils fails to compile because ELF_DATA definition is bogus in linux-headers

Description Alan Hourihane 2006-01-05 12:25:44 UTC

The definition of ELF_DATA in /usr/include/asm/elf.h is broken because it has semicolons at the end of the definition.

This causes pax-utils to fail compilation.

It's necessary to fix linux-headers to remove the semicolon.

actually I see it's because arm's stage3 in experimental links to a 2.4 profile, fixing that allows me to grab the later fixed linux-2.6.11-r2 headers.

Maybe a 2.4.26-r2 build should be done to fix this issue for 2.4 profiles.

i fixed 2.4.26-r1 a while ago as well as 2.6.x

That's funny, because in the stage3 arm 2005.0 image it has 2.4.26-r1 yet this problem exists.

It seems that the stage3 build is hosed in other ways as well though.
