With this I get:

arch/arm/kernel/elf.c:7: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before
'(' token
arch/arm/kernel/elf.c: In function 'elf_check_arch':
arch/arm/kernel/elf.c:8: error: number of arguments doesn't match prototype
/home/westeri/devel/maemo/linux/linux-2.6/arch/arm/include/asm/elf.h:95: error:

arch/arm/kernel/elf.c:12: error: 'x' undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/arm/kernel/elf.c:12: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once
arch/arm/kernel/elf.c:12: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/elf.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

That's why I changed name of the function to arm_elf_check_arch().

Thanks,
