Bug#320953: Kernel fails to build: error at generic_serial.c

["Marc F. Clemente" <marc@mclemente.net>]

Package: kernel-source-2.6.11
Version: 2.6.11-7

The kernel fails to compile with gcc4.0.  I include the error.  I found 
a patch, but I have not tried it.  It was at:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/2428.html

Thanks,
Marc
