error with “pmem.c” compiling linux source code for android
I am compiling linux source code for android emulator. When i execute make command(for building and cross-compiling the linux source) i get the following error "pmem.c" file.

how to resolve this error. It seems that there may some problems in the "pmem.c" file and i'll have to choose different git repository. but that would be a very complex thing, as now i have already done most of the things till here. I might have to see correct version of this file. please someone tell what should i do?
You shouldn't be building pmem for x86. Its not needed, and i think there
are a few ARMisms in there that we haven't had a chance to clean it up.
Take it out of your config file (it's is not in the kernel.config in the
eee701.git repo).
