This build failure is seen on the powerpc from the 2.6.24-git18 kernel and is still visible
in the 2.6.25-rc1-git1.
drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c:44: error: __param_proto causes a section type conflict
drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c:44: error: __param_proto causes a section type conflict
make[3]: *** [drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/input/mouse] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/input] Error 2
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/8/514 seems to have not taken into 2.6.25-rc1 and
2.6.25-rc1-git(s). Is there any new patch i am missing out.

I have it queued up, along with quite a few other things, but for the next
couple of days I have logistical problems which are preventing me from
doing runtime testing.

And this really isn't a regression.
It seems Kamalesh has upgraded his gcc to 4.2 between trying
2.6.24-git18 and trying 2.6.25-rc1-git1?

Hi Adrian,
I am using the gcc version
gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 20071014 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-3)
It has been the same gcc version from 2.6.24-git18 to 2.6.25-rc1-git{1,2).
This build failure is seen from 2.6.24-git18 and is still seen in 2.6.25-rc1-git{1,2}.

I misread what you meant with the word "from".
But my point is still that this is not a regression in the kernel but a
problem when using gcc 4.2 on powerpc (no matter whether the kernel or
gcc is wrong in this case).
Or am I wrong here and you are able to compile older powerpc kernels
with the same gcc and .config?

Sorry for the term using "regression in the kernel", this seems not to be the regression from the
kernel.I tried compiling older versions of kernels on the machine. I was able to reproduce the
same build failure with 2.6.23 and similar one with 2.6.22.
