Can't compile HiSaX into 2.2.20pre9 kernel

Can't compile HiSaX into 2.2.20pre9 kernel

[Pascal Schmidt]

Hello all!

I get an error message during 'make bzImage' when I try to compile
2.2.20pre9 with the HiSax ISDN driver included (it works with HiSax as
module):

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.2.20pre9/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

init/main.o(.data.init+0x3a4): undefined reference to `HiSax_setup'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The strange thing is, the drivers/isdn/isdn.a included above defines
the symbol:

/usr/src/linux-2.2.20pre9 # nm -a drivers/isdn/isdn.a | grep HiSax_setup
0000043c t HiSax_setup

I have no idea what goes wrong here. It works as expected with 2.2.19.

I did:
bzcat ../pre-patch-2.2.0-9.bz2 | patch -p1
make clean
make mrproper
cp ../linux-2.2.19/.config .
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage

Whooops, silly me. The problem is of course that the small "t" indicates
that HiSax_setup is a local symbol here, where it should be global and
shown as "T". It works with 2.2.19 because there HiSax_setup is a global
symbol.

Fix should be easy, though I don't know how to fix it. ;)

In drivers/isdn/hisax/config.c, remove the "static" in the line

static void HiSax_setup(...)

I'll send a patch to Alan, thanks for reporting.
