make[2]: [grsecurity/grsec_hidesym.o] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: [grsecurity/grsec_hidesym.o] Error 1 (ignored)

I get these two errors while compiling. The compiling continues, and so far the kernel's doing fine. I'm pretty sure I've had this before and just forgotten to ask about it.

I can't get the config right now, but it should be virtually identical to my 3.9.5 config here:

They can be ignored. If the kernel was compiled as root, it would auto-chmod /boot, /lib/modules, and the kernel source tree to prevent viewing by unprivileged users. You should do this yourself in this case.

I'm running GCC under root. Is it because I'm already running on a grsec kernel?

In that case, the ignored errors are due to it trying to chmod some paths that don't exist on your system (/lib64/modules, /lib32/modules)

Yeah, neither of those folders exist. Thanks.
