Description C 2006-05-30 05:12:35 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.16.1
Distribution:Debian
Hardware Environment:sun netra 1405 4 proc 4Go RAM
Software Environment:gcc 3.3.5 (debian)
Problem Description: while compiling kernel, gcc halts with th following error :
In file included from arch/sparc64/kernel/sparc64_ksyms.c:28:
include/net/compat.h:40: warning: `struct sock' declared inside parameter list
include/net/compat.h:40: warning: its scope is only this definition or
declaration, which is probably not what you want
make[2]: *** [arch/sparc64/kernel/sparc64_ksyms.o] Error 1

Steps to reproduce: tar jxvf linux-2.6.16 ; patch -p1 < patch-2.6.17-rc5 ; make -j5

Solution : (it works but may be dirty) in include/net/compat.h add declaration
of struct sock AFTER #endif /* defined(CONFIG_COMPAT) */
