Line 16 of linux/ipc/util.c #include's <asm/ipc.h>. There is no such animal
in linux/include/asm-alpha/, so compilation fails:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/ipc'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 -Wa,-m21164a
-DBWIO_ENABLED -c -o util.o util.c
util.c:16: asm/ipc.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [util.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/ipc'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/ipc'
make: *** [_dir_ipc] Error 2

Either removing the reference or creating "linux/include/asm-alpha/ipc.h" as
an empty file allows compilation; the resulting kernel boots fine on my
LX164 system.
