[parisc-linux] Re: 2.4.16-pa16 (from CVS) fails on "make depend"

The "make distclean" which Grant suggested below seems to have resolved
this.

Thanks Grant!

Chuck,
you went from 2.4.9 to 2.4.16...quite a jump.

The other fellow is right, you need to run any variant of make config
(eg make oldconfig or menuconfig) in order to fix up CONFIG_XXX
options which will match the new kernel. Maybe you did that
and just forgot to mention it.

When I get paranoid, I save off the .config, make distclean, restore
the .config, make oldconfig, and continue on with the rest of the
usual steps.

hth,
