[linux-lvm] Patch 0.8i to 2.3.40: error during make

[Jim Cain]

All,

After applying the patch and running make config and make dep, make shows
the following:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.3.40-lvm/include -D__SMP__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce  -DCPU=686 -march=i686  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

Has anyone else had a similar problem with this patch?
