Subject: arc/arm/config.in still broken 2.4.19-2.4.29 ?

Greetings list.

arch/arm/config.in has an error which breaks make.

I've googled this a bit just by searching for drivers/ssi/Config.in and the
first reference I find to this breakage is in 2002 !

For completeness shouldn't this really be removed once and for all?

I'm not clear on what the procedure is for submitting a patch, but, I've
included one to save somebody else the bother.

Best
Bryan

ARM is not maintained in mainline 2.4 kernels. It's a dead loss trying to
merge ARM into 2.4 kernels due to many invasive kernel changes.

You need a 2.4-vrs patch on top of mainline 2.4 kernels to make them build
for ARM. See http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/ for more information.
