Error compiling fbsplash with genkernel [SOLVED]

genkernel --menuconfig --gensplash=emergence all

CC drivers/video/fbsplash.o
drivers/video/fbsplash.c:52: error: redefinition of 'fbsplash_call_helper
drivers/video/fbsplash.c:62: error: previous definition of 'fbsplash_call_helper' was here
drivers/video/fbsplash.c:81: error: redefinition of 'fbsplash_disable'
drivers/video/fbsplash.c:68: error:
drivers/video/fbsplash.c: In funtion 'fbsplash_ioctl_doetstate'

there is more, but its a lot of typing! If more is needed for a resolution, let me know, and I'll add the rest

Edit - solved this by reconfiguring and recompiling kernel

Hmm, I've got the same problem also. What did you do exactly to fix it?

I finally solved it too.

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone out there know what's causing this? The solution posted isn't a very good one, because it uses a different config to what I need.

Thanks.

OK, I figured it out. For some reason Device drivers -> Graphics -> Support for frame buffer splash is no longer enabled by default. I am not sure why this would cause the compile to fail, but it did. I enabled said option and this fixed the problem.
