From: Adrian Bunk GNU make 3.78 reproducible segfaults when building kernel 2.6. See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107333742902438&w=2 Therefore, the minimum requirement for GNU make has to be raised in Documentation/Changes. GNU make 3.79.1 works. --- Documentation/Changes | 9 +++++---- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff -puN Documentation/Changes~require-make-3-79-1 Documentation/Changes --- 25/Documentation/Changes~require-make-3-79-1 2004-02-22 15:48:34.000000000 -0800 +++ 25-akpm/Documentation/Changes 2004-02-22 15:48:34.000000000 -0800 @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ Card) hardware, for example, you probabl with pcmcia-cs. o Gnu C 2.95.3 # gcc --version -o Gnu make 3.78 # make --version +o Gnu make 3.79.1 # make --version o binutils 2.12 # ld -v o util-linux 2.10o # fdformat --version o module-init-tools 0.9.10 # depmod -V @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ your version of gcc 2.95.x, may necessit Make ---- -You will need Gnu make 3.78 or later to build the kernel. +You will need Gnu make 3.79.1 or later to build the kernel.
