Re: Hard problems to compile kernel !!!
I finally got some more time to look at this and found the problem!
The file arch/sparc64/kernel/ioctl32.c refers to the header file
<linux/if_ppp.h> which attempts to reference NPmode and ppp_stats, both of
which are defined in <linux/ppp_defs.h> which is _not_ included by
ioctl32.c, which causes the failure. Adding '#include <linux/ppp_defs.h>'
before the include for if_ppp.h seems to fix the problem.
It seems that we both enabled ppp in the kernel config step. This is
probably something that seasoned builders of ultra kernels simply know to
avoid?
