hm, you just pushed another fix for that out via:

| commit 4d3702b62e004172f44870763cf56793d8de0cbf
| Author: Roland Dreier <rdreier@...co.com>
| Date:   Mon Jul 14 18:11:23 2008 -0700

|     x86: Rename "ignore" macro in <asm/dwarf2.h> to avoid collision

that would collide. Here's a (separate) merged up tree that will pull 
cleanly:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git x86-fixes-for-linus-2

(but i have not touched the other branch either.)

Thanks,
