Lustre discuss - Jul 2007 - kernel module build failed with gcc-3.4 & gcc-4.1

Hello,

I''ve an problem with building the kernel module for kernel 2.6.18. 

I''ll packaging lustre v1.6.0.1 for debian and found an problem
compiling
the kernel modules.

I patched this kernel and build it without any problems, but when I started 
to build the kernel modules I got this error indepentend from the choice 
of the compiler.
