grsecurity-2.9.1-3.8.4-201303252035 compile issue

[x14sg1]

Hello,

My linux distro just updated to gcc 4.8.0 (gcc -v output below) and now I get the following compile error related to target.h:

# make V=1 bzImage
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=tools/gcc
g++ -Wp,-MD,tools/gcc/.constify_plugin.o.d -O2 -Wall -W -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -I/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.8.0/plugin/include -std=gnu++98 -ggdb -Wno-unused-parameter -fPIC -c -o tools/gcc/constify_plugin.o tools/gcc/constify_plugin.c

It looks like while I do not have target.h, there is an article on the web for Darwin and gcc 4.8.0 that indicates it does. Not sure but this is probably not your issue - comments?

Using your bug report, I copied the 3 files in and was able to build the kernel.

I also reported the bug to slackware

Thanks
