The alternative would be to just add a
#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__
...
#endif
around the whole thing. I could do that without asking for help from
the powerpc people.
But it really does seem kind of wrong to include a "compiler
attributes" header file to compile a *.S file. It's not like any of
those attributes are valid in asm anyway.
I did just verify that the patch I sent out seems to cross-compile ok.
At least for the power64 defconfig.
So that's _some_ testing, and implies that the patch isn't complete garbage.
