Yeah, 2.6.26.5 will be out any minute now:

In compiling kernel 2.6.26.4 I recieve the following error:

CC [M] net/ipv6/ip6mr.o

The compiler is:

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2

The distro is Slackware 12.0 running kernel 2.6.26.3

The error is reproducible, i.e. always the same line of code in the same
source module.
