Description sgaffer 2009-12-09 05:18:29 UTC

Compilation fails during the emerge.

Reproducible: Always




I'm using Funtoo Linux, but I'm fairly sure that this is not a Funtoo-specific problem.

Portage 2.2_rc56 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.32-gentoo x86_64)

Comment 2 Garrett Holmstrom 2009-12-18 02:08:16 UTC

This happens for me on Fedora as well, so I'm fairly certain it's breakage due to Linux 2.6.32.

Upstream bug #2916677  (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2916677&group_id=204462&atid=989708)

I'm pretty sure this is the same bug as:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295955#c15
and fix will be the same.
In mean time could you try to compile your kernel with
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

Thanks.

Comment 4 sgaffer 2010-01-06 02:42:25 UTC

After making that change it compiled successfully.
