Doing a make on the latest linus tree gives:

a.   What is the cause of the error?
b.   Is there a relationship between the ld-warning and the subsequent
errors as shown above?

Thanks.

The Makefile in drivers/ and drivers/media/ doesn't play well together.

No.

To overcome this error try disabling CONFIG_DVB_CORE.
