It looks like in this case it is just the make{} entries in
hal_arm.cdl. Just edit those and you should be OK.
I'm also a little surprised that your Linux tail is complaining about
this. I have SuSE 9.1 with coreutils-5.2.1, which is the latest version,
and tail is quite happy with the +2. However, maybe there's some
configuration option that SuSE set differently to your distribution.
