Fortunately the kisskb service has good bookkeeping of build logs and configs.

Re-adding the lost URL:
>> [1] http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/head/9038/ (all 254 configs)

  1. Open URL in web browser,
  2. Click on "Failed", next to "arm-randconfig",
  3. Click on "Download", next to "arm-randconfig",
  4. Reproduce,
  5. Fix,
  6. Profit! ;-)

Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
