Comment 1 Randy Dunlap 2009-11-02 16:59:19 UTC 
how do you cause this to happen?  I can't make it fail.
And are you testing the stable kernel git tree, a full tarball, or a patch*
file that is applied to a previous kernel?
Comment 2 Pierre 2009-11-02 22:27:46 UTC 
I took the full tarball from the kernel.org website, and just did a make config && make
Comment 3 Randy Dunlap 2009-11-02 22:30:47 UTC 
ok, please post your .config file.
Comment 4 Randy Dunlap 2009-11-02 22:42:18 UTC 
I have glibc-devel-2.6.1-18 installed, which is what provides
/usr/include/elf.h, which is where STT_TLS is #defined.

What version of glibc-devel do you have installed?
Comment 5 Pierre 2009-11-02 23:45:38 UTC 
I have glibc 2.2.5

So I suspect this is the problem here...
Comment 6 Pierre 2009-11-03 11:14:50 UTC 
I succeed to upgrade to glibc 2.10 and now it compiles fine.
