Everything possible built as a module. The wan error I undertsand
is something we really like as it is by now a permanent feature, but
the sis one is new.

At the end of a -pre6 bzImage compile I'm getting this:
gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-pre6/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA setup.S -o bsetup.s
as -o bsetup.o bsetup.s
bsetup.s: Assembler messages:

make[1]: *** [bsetup.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-pre6/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
It looks like the following patch from -pre6 causes compiles to fail for
me:
--- linux-2.4.16/arch/i386/boot/setup.S Fri Nov 9 19:58:02 2001
+++ linux/arch/i386/boot/setup.S Fri Dec 7 16:53:24 2001
@@ -539,7 +539,7 @@
cmpw $0, %cs:realmode_swtch
jz rmodeswtch_normal
- lcall %cs:realmode_swtch
+ lcall *%cs:realmode_swtch
jmp rmodeswtch_end
Now granted, I'm a little behind:
% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
% ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.22)
But do we really want to prevent RH6.2 (for example) from compiling 2.4
at this late stage? 2.95.3 became the minimum _after_ 2.4 was released,
I now notice in Changes.
I'm reverting this patchlet for now, but I'm unsure if this will cause
functionality issues. Any input would be appreciated.
I could shift to 2.95.3, but with 3.0 "around the corner", I'm hesitant
to spend the additional testing time. Not a huge deal, but...
Thanks,

Ken.

Oops, sorry..
I submitted that patch because newer as emits a warning, but I guess that's
the lesser of two evils, huh?

Not a problem at all. That's what -pre releases and folks testing with
ancient (but tried and tested) releases are for. ;-)
It sounds like it's easily revertable, but maybe it's worth putting the
axe in egcs compatibility for other people? ... Dunno.
So reverting this single patch is kosher? Two SMP boxes here seem okay
so far without it.
Thanks for the quick response,

It's worth putting the axe in when you have a good reason to break
compatibility. This, however, isn't one of those.

Ok I'll look at that one. I think you need to include sis frame buffer
support. If so thats a dependancy I don't think I can fix in CML1
