Hi, just trying to compile a vanilla kernel and building using
allmodconfig and using oldconfig with the debian 3.10.1 config as a base.

With the later config, I get the following:

CC [M] drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/debugfs.o

make[2]: *** [drivers/net/wireless] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/net] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

There are also a bunch of warnings, most of the ones I could catch are
signedness related.
