Compilation linux-source-2.6.18

[Ben <mulvihill@tiscalinet.it>]

Hello,

I have just upgraded my 712 to etch and am trying to compile a kernel.
Compilation fails in arch/parisc/mm/init.c with the following error:

make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-ben linux-image

.....

arch/parisc/mm/init.c:34: error: conflicting types for '_text'
include/asm-generic/sections.h:6: error: previous declaration of
'_text' was here
arch/parisc/mm/init.c:36: error: conflicting types for '_end'

include/asm-generic/sections.h:9: error: previous declaration of
'_init_end'
was here
make[2]: *** [arch/parisc/mm/init.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/parisc/mm] Error 2


I am using the debian linux-source-2.6.18 package. I remember that
with 2.6.8 a patch had to be applied to the standard debian source
package for hppa but that seems to have disappeared.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
