It appears that a change was made to the drivers/block/Makefile that
causes block.o to be compiled rather than block.a. In the top-level
Makefile, the reference to block.a was not changed to pull in the new
filename. I am not sure which name ought to be used, but obviously,
they need to match.

diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude
