The fact that it was bombing while compiling the scsi disk driver is just
random bad luck.  It could have bombed on something else instead in all
likelihood...

This looks like filesystem corruption, I think.  You might try removing
the bad file (cd9660_lookup.o) and then doing another make.  Hopefully
this will manage to create the object file without the corruption.

Have you sent in a PR with the patch?

I hope this helps some.

Later.
