But the cause itself, as Roland pointed, is the fact that the asm-ppc/io.h includes linux/mm.h, unlike other platforms (that's why the build problem only affected ppc). This seems to be unnecessary. At least, confirmation for this exists for some embedded ppc ports (me) and the PowerMac (Joseph). > > If so, my options are to ask Tony to add this > patch to the bk-ia64 tree so > > they all go in at the same time, or to merge this > patch into Linus's tree > > prior to the ia64 patch.

Thanks! > IIRC, the linus tree also includes linux/mm.h in asm-ppc/io.h since several versions.
