dump_rle.o doesn't get compiled for new lkcd patch

[shaider@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,
     I'm having some problems with the new lkcd-4.0 patch.  The dump_rle.c
file in the linux/drivers/dump directory is not getting compiled when I
build the kernel.  I have configured the kernel with both CONFIG_DUMP and
CONFIG_DUMP_COMPRESS_RLE set to y (and not loadable modules).  However, the
dump_rle.o never gets built.

When I try to run the kernel with the new lkcd-4.0kernel patch, I get a
failure in lkcd_config.c as it does the ioctl to check for compression.
This is because dump_rle.o has not been linked into the kernel.  I tried
creating a rule in the drivers/dump/Makefile to force the building of
dump_rle.o.  This caused the compile to happen but the dump_rle.o was never
linked into the kernel.

Any clues/fix for the same.


   thanks and regards...
