Trying to reproduce the problem, I've also re-built the mainstream
kernel 3.5-rc3 for se7724_defconfig platform plus the stmmac (pltf and
pci) but all compiles fine.

I've also verified that there is the 33d5e332b9c5 commit that is the
latest one discussed/tested/committed in the network mailing list.

Can you tell me how to reproduce the problem? How can I help?

Pls let me know,
Peppe
