Subject: Fwd: Linker error on 2.6.32.2 with radeon DRM

I just tried to compile last stable kernel with radeon DRM gpu driver
and I got this:

I read in kernel Changes file that versions should be ok..

It is on an old a 32 bit AMD athlon XP processor.

I tracked this issue to be related to the said function
(radeon_test_moves) in the code line where the number of test is
calculated (line 45).

I did a workaround by performing a cast to unsigned of the first
division operand, but I have really no idea about what that code is
doing...

Thanks
Andrea
