Re: [ACPI] best acpi solution

[sjb <ot...@ot...>]

Thanks to everyone who helped out with my question from yestrday.

Following the suggestions, I'm trying to build a new kernel based on 
Alan Cox's patches to 2.4.21-rc2

Everything goes fine until I try to make the modules, when I get the 
attached error.

I know this isn't striclty an ACPI question, but I guess many of you 
have been down this route before so I thought I'd ask here in case 
somebody had seen this before.

My gcc version is

linux:/usr/src/linux # gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr 
--with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib 
--enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada --disable-checking 
--enable-libgcj --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ 
--with-slibdir=/lib --with-system-zlib --enable-shared 
--enable-__cxa_atexit i486-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)

Any help gratefully received since I'm now almost there ;-)
