Can you tell me if the final 2.4.18 will solve the problems with recent
binutils? Or is the onus on the binutils maintainer to fix this?

What driver are you having problems with?
Typically this problem is solved by a one-line fix to a specific driver,
in 2.4.x.

Hi Marcelo,
is there any chance for including the latest PPP patch from Paul (2.4.2 -
20020205) and Michael's pppoe patch 0.6.10 -- only those "two" patches eliminate
the PPP deadlocks! Might be worth putting these into 2.4.18 final ? :-)
Thanks,
Immanuel

The conclusion reached on the list was that the binutils change while suprising
and somewhat annoying is actually perfectly correct and reasonable. The kernel
should eventually work with the new binutils but its up to people with that
binutils to keep testing and chasing down remaining problems

There are still some module license tags missing. I only looked explicitly
for GPL modules; others might be ok as well.
Patch is against 2.4.18-pre9; I assume 2.5.x also needs this one.

Hope this was an invitation for others also.
If more info is needed, let me know.

Unfortunately, no. Such patches should be integrated in early -pre series.
2.4.19-pre-early will probably have Paul's PPP fixes.

And what about the updates for matroxfb ?
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101278517327836&w=2
"I already tried to push updated matroxfb to both Marcello
and Linus, but only Alan picked it..."
I'll probably have to wait for 2.4.19.
