If CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set, we have:

    #define HPAGE_PMD_NR (1<<HPAGE_PMD_ORDER)
    #define HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT-PAGE_SHIFT)
    #define HPAGE_PMD_SHIFT ({ BUILD_BUG(); 0; })

Depending on compiler version and optimization level, the BUILD_BUG() may be
optimized away (smaps_account() is always called with compound = false if
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=n), or lead to a build failure:

    fs/built-in.o: In function `smaps_account':
    task_mmu.c:(.text+0x4f8fa): undefined reference to
`__compiletime_assert_471'

Seen with m68k/allmodconfig or allyesconfig and gcc version 4.1.2 20061115
(prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-21).
Not seen when compiling the affected file with gcc 4.6.3 or 4.9.0, or with the
m68k defconfigs.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
