3.10-rc1: commit ccdfcc398594 broke uClibc build.

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Widening the audience...

The #include <linux/kernel.h> added to include/uapi/linux/netlink.h causes
In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:4,
from include/linux/netlink.h:4,
from include/linux/rtnetlink.h:5,
from libc/inet/netlinkaccess.h:27,
include/linux/sysinfo.h:8: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before
'__kernel_long_t'
make: *** [libc/inet/if_index.o] Error 1
If I comment out that line, it builds fine. The kernel builds (for my
config) either way.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.

Comment out which line? Line 8 of include/linux/sysinfo.h or the new #include
line?

Also, what arch are you compiling for?

Also, what arch are you compiling for?

My Aboriginal Linux project does arm, mips, powerpc, sparc, sh4, x86,
x86_64, m68k, and I'm poking at adding alpha.

I believe the uClibc build breaks in a target-independent manner. I
just rebuilt armv5l without the patch to confirm:
