2.6.16-rc3-git7 fails to build when sysfs is disabled with the
attached .config .
Without sysfs enabled :
LD vmlinux

: undefined reference to `uevent_seqnum'

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
If sysfs is switched on the same config builds just fine.
The .config is attached.

Yeah, someone else pointed this out a while ago too. Care to make up a
patch to fix it?

I've been looking at this for a few minutes now and wondering - since sysfs is
an integrated part of the new module system there isn't an easy solution in
the KConfig system. Perhaps providing a stub function that does nothing for
builds that have sysfs turned off would be better...
Either that, or leave the function in and have its function depend, in some
function, on whether sysfs was loaded as a module or isn't present at all.
Truthfully, though, I don't know if that's possible.

I don't mind taking a crack at it, but it won't be until saturday
evening or sunday, don't have any spare time before then - that's why
I just send in the info instead of trying to fix it myself.
