Re: 2.6.5-rc3: Parse error in traps.c on Alpha

Thank you. I just upgraded to version 3.3.3 from the unstable tree... and it works!

Now, there is only one warning left. When a module is compiled I get something like this (for all modules!):

CC [M] arch/alpha/kernel/srm_env.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:5: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .got

Any idea about that?

Stefan.

This can be compiled only with gcc version >= 3.1.

Richard, should we explicitly state the minimal gcc
version requirement for 2.6 on Alpha somewhere,
or just change the opDEC inline asm to use older syntax?
To me, both ways look acceptable.
