Trying to compile again produced the same errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. see above 3. see above Additional info:
This looks like missing make mrproper.
make mrproper was called. The process of building was done more times. unpacking the rpm file, calling make mrproper, copying the config file, calling make dep and then make modules.
