[openib-general] build fails on revision 3930

[James W. Barker]

All,

Following the instructions posted in your 
"installation cheetsheet" after I issue the 
command "make modules modules_install" the build 
fails with the error message below (this is 
revision 3930), the same procedure (not sure 
which revision number) was successful last week:
