Nicolas,

With the patch:

ARM: 6746/1: remove the 4x expansion presumption while decompressing the kernel

I get a build error. This is when building my packaged kernel with debuild. Notice the stat failure __after__ the "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready message". Then later ld fails because of the stat failure.

GEN .version CHK include/generated/compile.h LD .tmp_vmlinux1 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S AS .tmp_kallsyms1.o LD .tmp_vmlinux2 KSYM .tmp_kallsyms2.S AS .tmp_kallsyms2.o LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SYSMAP .tmp_System.map OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready stat: cannot stat `arch/arm/boot/compressed/../Image': No such file or directory AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.o GZIP arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip CC arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o CC arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.o SHIPPED arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.S AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o LD arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux arm-linux-gnueabi-ld:--defsym _image_size=: syntax error

The odd thing is that after the failure I can look in the directory and Image is there so its like it some kind of race?

For the moment I am working around this be reverting this patch but obviously thats not a real solution.

Thanks, John
