Hi,
thank you very much, I've successfully fixed the above problem... but there
is another one:

** mtd_blkdevs.o: unresolved symbol mtd_table_mutex **
** mtd_blkdevs.o: unresolved symbol mtd_table **

The mtdcore.c source should export those symbols... but there is no way to
insert mtd_blkdevs.o module without this error.
Any suggestion?
