MIPS: Fix build with C=1
When trying to compile the 3.1-rc10 kernel for my MIPS board with C=1 (sparse checking), the build fails early with the error: CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h UPD include/generated/utsrelease.h Checking missing-syscalls for N32 CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh Checking missing-syscalls for O32 CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CC kernel/bounds.s GEN include/generated/bounds.h CC arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.s GEN include/generated/asm-offsets.h CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/genksyms.o SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.c SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/keywords.hash.c SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.h HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/lex.lex.o SHIPPED scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.c HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/parse.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/genksyms/genksyms /bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected make[3]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 2 make[2]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2 make[1]: *** [scripts] Error 2 It seems the shell chokes because sparse is called with command line arguments such as: -D__INT8_C(c)='c' Converting these to form: -D'__INT8_C(c)'='c' seems to fix the problem.
