The cmd/lcrash/lib/libklib/include/asm/kl_kernel.h should really be
based on cmd/lcrash/lib/libklib/include/asm-alpha/kl_kernel.h. You
may need to make modifications to those files in order to get it to
compile correctly. That file has been setup to deal with header file
inconsistencies.
For example, in your case, it's doing a #include <linux/mm.h>, which
eventually does a #include <asm/current.h>, and from there, it doesn't
compile correctly, because the global register variable isn't allowed.
Just purely speculating (if I had an Alpha system, I could probably
work on it ... do you have a login? :D), you might want to check your
$(CFLAGS) and make sure one of the standard flags is being used to
compile for alpha platforms ... also, make sure to look at any files
that #include <linux/mm.h> in arch/alpha/kernel and see what header
files may also be needed (the ones that preclude the #include <linux/mm.h>
definition). Finally, remove #include <linux/mm.h>, and find out what
happens.
My first guess is it is the $(CFLAGS), but without having a system, I
can't know for sure.
