2.5.67 alpha compile failure

["T. Weyergraf" <kirk@colinet.de>]

Hi all,

kernel 2.5.67 fails to compile on alpha ( DP264, SMP ):

[...]
  gcc -Wp,-MD,kernel/.sys.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 -mcpu=ev6 -Wa,-mev6 -fomit-frame-pointer -nostdinc -iwithprefix include    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=sys -DKBUILD_MODNAME=sys -c -o kernel/sys.o kernel/sys.c
kernel/sys.c:226: conflicting types for `sys_sendmsg'
include/linux/socket.h:245: previous declaration of `sys_sendmsg'
kernel/sys.c:227: conflicting types for `sys_recvmsg'
include/linux/socket.h:246: previous declaration of `sys_recvmsg'
make[1]: *** [kernel/sys.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

in include/linux/socket.h, both sys_sendmsg and sys_recvmsg are declared as follows:

extern asmlinkage long sys_sendmsg(int fd, struct msghdr *msg, unsigned flags);
extern asmlinkage long sys_recvmsg(int fd, struct msghdr *msg, unsigned flags);

Obviously, commenting-out those declarations fixes the compile problem and the rest of the
build passes just fine.
This problem is new to me. 2.5.64 and 65 do not have it.

My question is: Is commenting-out the declarations the Correct Way (TM) ?
I don't think so ...

Any Ideas ?

Regards,
Thomas Weyergraf
