[SOLVED] [kernel26zen-git] Unable to build kernel

Hi!

I am unable to sucessfully build the kernel26zen-git package.
I am using the stable version, master branch.

Error is:

==> Building kernel and modules...
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CC      arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.s - due to target missing

                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:4:

    Aborting...

I already tried the "make mrproper", building it without any modifications to "config" and googleing for the problem.
Anyone got a clue?

EDIT: Okay, I was searching with the wrong keywords. I searched for

include/linux/tracepoint.h:80:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'synchronize_sched'

and found this thread.
Going to try this out.

EDIT 2: What can I say? It worked.

EDIT 3: Another Thread with the solution

PS: What about this "RCU"? What does it do and why does the "classic RCU" not work?
