grsecurity-2.1.14-2.6.31.4-200910130056.patch fails to compile for me with:

CC arch/x86/mm/extable.o

Found same problem compiling for x86_64.
Kernel for i386 compiles and works without problems.

It seems adding one rule to arch/x86/mm/extable.c fixes the problem
Code: Select all

However the compilation then ends with
