Re: Compile errors patching 2.6.11 to 2.6.12-rc2

Yo - I got the same problem with 2.6.12-rc2-mm3 on powerpc -


[...]
  COFF    arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/coffboot
lib/lib.a(string.o)(.text+0x5cc): In function `kstrdup':
: undefined reference to `__kmalloc'
  COFF    arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff
powerpc-linux-objcopy: 'arch/ppc/boot/openfirmware/coffboot': No such 
file
make[3]: *** [arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.coff] Error 1

I see this thread on debian-powerpc & this on linux-kernel - 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/294483

Not sure of the cause or if there's a fix -

Is there anything I can do?

Many thanks!
