i'm trying to extend the kconfig structure to add the "maturity"
level we've been discussing on LKML, and i started with a patch
suggested by simon arlott which *looked* fine, but this is what i get
when i run "make config":

$ make config
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
bison -l -b scripts/kconfig/zconf -p zconf scripts/kconfig/zconf.y
scripts/kconfig/zconf.y: conflicts: 28 shift/reduce
scripts/kconfig/zconf.y: expected 26 shift/reduce conflicts
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 1
make: *** [config] Error 2
$

  now, i can attach the patch but here's a simpler question from
someone who *isn't* a lex/yacc expert -- what does the above error
mean?  why would there be a mismatch between the number of s/r
conflicts it expects and the number it finds?

  my first impression (from a position of overwhelming ignorance) is
that there is, somewhere, a remnant of the official build which states
that there are 26 s/r conflicts, but the new content generates 28.
how can i guarantee that i'm doing a fresh build of *all* the kconfig
stuff?

  i've set "LKC_GENPARSER := 1" so the build is certainly rebuilding
the "shipped" stuff, but is there anything else that might be the
problem?

  barring an easy solution, i can submit the patch if someone wants to
look at it.  it seems fairly straightforward, but i'm at a loss.
thanks.
