Fine.

In future, though, you might want to pay a bit more attention
to advice from oldtimers (I assume Dave's an oldtimer :-)
before blowing it off.

1. next time you have a problem, be sure to post at least
   the first couple lines of the error

2. the compile error you hit is extremely easy to fix
   if you know any C.  (In fact, it's probably already
   been fixed in newer kernels.)  It would be really
   easy to submit a patch to crosstool to fix it.

3. Even if you yourself are not building the kernel for
   production, not being able to build the kernel is a good
   sign of toolchain trouble, so much so that it's worth
   fixing the little problems that come up.

4. Telling somebody to switch to decaf when they've given
   you good advice is probably a bit much.
