Not that you implement a particular ABI, just that the source level interface works. It's not a full test of course, but it's a reasonable sanity check over a wide range of interfaces. When I was working on my architecture I found it very helpful. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- 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/
