Then again, maybe > _that_ is the correct approach. Just to make it 100% clear: I don't particularly like to work around the shortcomings of the ARM toolchain by adding hacks to the kernel. It should be first and foremost up to the toolchain people to fix the problem. If someone maintaining the ARM toolchain could be persuaded to maintain a bugfix only branch, this would be a huge step forwards. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
