As someone managed to get this to compile could anyone tell me what this error is, right at the beginning of the make process: *** davef@Ubuntu:~/mini2440-bootstrap/kernel/mini2440$ sudo make ARCH=arm O=../../kernel-bin/ -j4 CHK include/linux/version.h GEN /home/davef/mini2440-bootstrap/kernel-bin/Makefile CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-arm make[2]: `include/asm-arm/mach-types.h' is up to date.
