I've recently been installing my new 12" powerbook with gentoo. Everything has been going fine, I managed to get the system all set up including a new compiled kernel. I came across an error however that required recompiling the kernel again, so I made the appropriate adjustment (removing enhanced RTC support) and recompiled. However the process hits an error when trying to create util.o.

Normally I wouldn't find this kind of compile error strange, they happen sometimes, but I get the same error trying to compile different kernel versions now. The only thing I can think is that when I ran 'emerge -u world' in between compiling the first kernel and compiling the second something has gone awry.

I've done some googling and not found anything on this error, can anyone help me?

The appropriate output is below:-

Code:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-ppc-r2/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-ppc-r2/arch/ppc -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -fno-builtin -D__BOOTER__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-ppc-r2/arch/ppc/boot/include  -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=of1275  -c -o of1275.o of1275.c

move your .config to a safe place, run 'make mrpropper' cp .config back and run

Code:
make oldconfig && make clean && make dep && make vmlinux modules modules_install

running mrpropper will clean the tree and remove any lingering deps for RTC, the 2.4 series dep is not as inteligent as it could be.
