Do you have a cross-compiler suite there? I think Harvey needs a mentor which can help him learn how to properly build validate his patches before he submits them, and how to not mix things up by, for example, validating the build with patches applied that won't be submitted etc. Every time I integrate these byteorder patches directly for networking or sparc, it tends to be a build regression nightmare. I think Andrew has hit 3 already with this patch series, quite an accomplishment. :-/ -- 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/
