I applied the KDB v4.4-2.6.9-rc1 patches to linux-2.6.8-1.533 (*), and
now I get a strange build error:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_start_marker' is already defined
/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:431: Error: symbol `int80_ret_end_marker' is already defined
Here's the compilation line that causes the error:
gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/i386/kernel/.entry.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Iinclude2 -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/include/asm-i386/mach-default -Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default -m32 -traditional -m32 -c -o arch/i386/kernel/entry.o /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.533/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
But, here's the rub: int80_ret_start_marker is not being redefined at
line 431 of entry.S AFAICT. If I grep through all the sources, I find
that int80_ret_start_marker is only referenced twice:
# find . -name "*[chS]" -exec fgrep -Hn int80_ret_end_marker {} \;
./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:140: cmpl $int80_ret_end_marker, %eax; \
./arch/i386/kernel/entry.S:171:int80_ret_end_marker: \
and neither of them are at line 431.
What gives?
Thanks.

(*) I applied the 2.6.9 KDB patches to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources
instead of the 2.6.8 KDB patches because two 2.6.9 patches were
applied to the Fedora 2.6.8-1.533 sources. All patches (except one)
applied with fuzz factor of 3. The one that didn't was easily fixed.
