Unversioned symbols when building kernel package
Hello!
I just tried to build the Debian kernel package for alpha which fails with:
debian/bin/buildcheck.py debian/build/build_alpha_none_alpha-generic alpha none alpha-generic
ABI is not completely versioned! Refusing to continue.
Unversioned symbols:
strcat module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL
strcpy module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL
strncat module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL
strncpy module: vmlinux, version: 0x00000000, export: EXPORT_SYMBOL
Can't read ABI reference. ABI not checked!

According to this comment by Ben [1], this is an issue that is trivially fixed by adding the
appropriate header to arch/$ARCH/include/asm-prototypes.h. However, looking at the header
file, "#include <asm/string.h>" is already present so I'm not sure what else we're missing.
