Sumversion Error with 2.6.18

Hi, im trying to compile kernel 2.6.18.
This is what i did:

make mrproper
make menuconfig
make clean
make dep
make modules

But make modules give me this error:

[jk@arch4linux src]$ make modules
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep

make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/sumversion.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2

A Google search came up with a report on Gentoo's bugtracker. Jump to comment #5 for a highly probable solution.

Re: Sumversion Error with 2.6.18

Hello B4RR13N705!

For some of us it's hard to help if the post isn't english, mainly the error output. Can you change the locale settings and give the english error output ?

"scripts/mod/sumversion.c:384: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)"

It's a typical include problem generally, you can add #include <linux/limits.h> to the desired file, sumversion.c.
