[PATCH] kbuild: improve error from file2alias

From: sam
Date: Sat Jul 29 2006 - 03:19:20 EST


From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The original errormessage was just plain unreadable.

Sample error message after this update (not for real - I provoked it):

FATAL: drivers/net/s2io: sizeof(struct pci_device_id)=33 is not a modulo of the
size of section __mod_pci_device_table=160.
Fix definition of struct pci_device_id in mod_devicetable.h

Before a warning was generated - this is now a fatal error.
