Hi,
It has been reported already but there was no response on the list so I
have to ask a straight question:
Will we have a modular ide in 2.6 anytime (soon)?
The sympthom is when I am trying to compile the IDE code as modules in
2.6 (last time in 2.6.1), depmod fails with unresolved symbols and
circular dependencies:
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map -b ~/linux -r
2.6.1; fi
