2.6.22 kernel warnings cause mkinitrd to fail

This looks bad! Any ideas why this might be happening? Below is a snipped of my stderr stream when compiling a 2.6.22 kernel with my own .config:

Code:

ipc/msg.c: In function ‘sys_msgctl’:
ipc/msg.c:390: warning: ‘setbuf.qbytes’ may be used uninitialized in this function
ipc/msg.c:390: warning: ‘setbuf.uid’ may be used uninitialized in this function

I had forgotten to say

Code:

make clean

after

Code:

make menuconfig

- it had nothing to do with the output of above. Apologies!
