Removing the line mentioned in the post works for me.

is not the other way around? OSS breaks with 2.6.36 and oss needs to be fixed?

I can confirm this error. It happened right after the kernel update. Here is the full error message:

# /etc/rc.d/oss start
:: Starting Open Sound System [BUSY] Relinking OSS kernel modules for "2.6.36-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload 686 "
This may take few moments - please stand by...

I also can confirm that removing line 956 from /usr/lib/oss/build/osscore.c allows OSS to be built, start and work again.
