While bisecting a boot failure on the 32-bit native kernel I came
across this build error:
arch/x86/built-in.o: In function `syscall_trace_entry':
/home/bgerst/kernel/linux/arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S:468: undefined
reference to `syscall_call'
/home/bgerst/kernel/linux/arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S:469: undefined
reference to `syscall_exit'
