Bug#304993: when compiling kernel-source 2.6.11 - stdarg.h: No such file or directory
Package: kernel-source
Version: 2.6.11-1
On compiling kernel-source-2.6.11-1 with or without
kernel-patch-debian-2.6.11-3, using current make-kpkg, as i have
since kernel 2.4 days, i get the following error.
arch/i386/kernel/process.c:14:20: stdarg.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/process.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.11'
make: *** [stamp-build] Error 2
kernel-source 2.6.10-x still builds fine.
a bit of intermittent trawling (2 weeks worth...) found the following
fix which worked for me.
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/
Is it a kernel or gcc problem (or me) ? Clearly it is a bit of a
kludge as it will change with gcc versions.
This is my first bug report, i hope it is clear enough. i am happy to
supply more info if needed. I tried looking to see if it was a
duplicate bug, but i dont think it is, although the process was a bit
opaque to me. Thank you for being debian.
