Thank you to Richard Jackson <rjackson_at_portal.gmu.edu>
and "Dr. Thomas.Blinn_at_Compaq.com" <tpb_at_doctor.zk3.dec.com>
The error is happening in the compilation of the file /sys/conf/param.c
(which is really in /usr/sys/conf/param.c). Either that file is left
over from an old install, or there is a bad header file.
Completely remove the target kernel build directory; for example, if
your system is named SUPELEC , then
# rm -rf /usr/sys/SUPELEC
and then retry the kernel build. It will probably work.
---------------------------
I've replaced param.c by the .new..param.c and removed the directory.
Now it's working.
Thanks
Daneil
