2 serious, some not so serious.

1. menuconfig barfs when playing around in the memory technology devices
area.

Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's
[...]

 Q> scripts/Menuconfig: MCmenu6: command not found

[...]

2. A printk has a small cosmetic type error in fs/locks.c

locks.c: In function `locks_insert_block':
locks.c:299: warning: long long int format, loff_t arg (arg 3)
locks.c:299: warning: long long int format, loff_t arg (arg 4)

3. fs/binfmt_elf.c has a small macro error

binfmt_elf.c: In function `load_elf_binary':
binfmt_elf.c:571: warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand
of & [ got chopped off ]

Offending line:
        SET_PERSONALITY(elf_ex, ibcs2_interpreter);

4. And finally, the arch/alpha/boot/tools/objstrip fails to be built.

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/alpha/boot'
strip -o vmlinux /usr/src/linux/vmlinux
gzip -fv9 vmlinux
vmlinux: 61.2% -- replaced with vmlinux.gz
gcc tools/objstrip.c -o tools/objstrip
tools/objstrip.c: In function `main':
tools/objstrip.c:153: invalid type argument of `->'
make[1]: *** [tools/objstrip] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/alpha/boot'
make: *** [boot] Error 2
