how to properly use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG ?

[jim.cromie at gmail.com]

so I got this macro which depends upon config choices to work,

Id like to have alt-config versions which throw some obvious error.

like this:

#elif (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE) && !defined(DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE))

#define DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(fsname, var, bitmap_desc, ...) \
BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(1, "you need -DDYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE in compile")

#else
...


is that more or less the expected usage ?
the error messages seem less clear than Id like,
leading me to suspect poor usage, or a better way to do it.
