good morning,

I've just tried to compile 2.4.31 and it still doesn't compile
cleanly with the latest binutils release.

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/data/root/linux-2.4.31/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4    -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=process  -c -o process.o process.c

alessandro suardi told me that this problem is solved using the
patch from:
  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.4-seg-4.patch

which are dated from march (2005-03-27) and therefore, about 3 months
old.

it's about time this gets into the official kernel. who is in charge
of it? (it's obviously not sufficient to report to lkml).

best regards,
herbert rosmanith
