Hi,

gpm-1.20.1 is just another programm which fails with linux26-headers. Here is the output:

I'm using gcc-3.4.1 and linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1.

this is caused by the Makefile in the src directory doing a SED which ends up in building a dependancy chain which is complete garbage as it miss indetifies a file in /usr/include/asm!

usr/include/asm/a.o!!!
