hi,
the "not being able to compile kernel with latest binutils" problem is also
present in 2.6.11.10, at least in:
arch/i386/kernel/process.c
arch/i386/kernel/vm86.c
include/asm-i386/system.h
substituting movl with movw for segreg moves will make it work again,
but I don't know if these are the only files which are probably affected, too.
(by the way - I once found an webpage which allowed viewing LKML in
"realtime", but I've lost the adress - would anyone be so kind and tell
me where I can find this?)
please find the patches below:
