Hmm I think that namei.ver is a stale file not removed for some odd reason...
(clean kernel tarballs shouldn't have it or do they?)
Anyway I mv'd that namei.ver outta that dir and it compiled without those
warnings - am I right on it being a stale file? ;)
[hmm I'm not on linux-kernel at the moment as >100 messages per day is too much for me at the moment...]
