[build failure] hp-plus.c:(.text+0xad73b): undefined reference to`ei_close'

[Christian Kujau]

Hi there,

this has been reported[0] in July already but randconfig just hit it 
again, I think:

-------
  gcc -Wp,-MD,init/.version.o.d  -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.1/include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  -I/data/Scratch/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include -i
  ld -m elf_i386   -r -o init/built-in.o init/main.o init/version.o init/mounts.o init/noinitramfs.o init/calibrate.o
  ld -m elf_i386 --build-id -o .tmp_vmlinux1 -T \

drivers/built-in.o: In function `hpp_open': hp-plus.c:(.text+0xad777):

drivers/built-in.o: In function `hp_plus_probe':
(.init.text+0xa286): undefined reference to `__alloc_ei_netdev'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
------

This 'ei_open' is defined in 8390.h, which is included in hp-plus.c, so I 
fail to understand why it wouldn't compile.

I've attached the .config to this mail.

Thanks,
Christian.
