Welcome to the club ;) I gave up make randconfig months ago as
there's simply too much noise in there... There are same errors
popping up for months now without resolution, and I lack experience
to fix most things I see -- asked akpm once but not grok Andrew's
response (months ago).

But is it summer here and I don't do much testing in hot weather.
