When I tried compiling 2.6.17-mm1 without SKAS support, it failed to
link:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `__setup_host_supports_tls':tls.c:(.init.text+0x14): undefined reference to `check_host_supports_tls'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This can fixed be addressed with the attached patch, but it the
resulting kernel still doesn't boot:

<tytso@candygram>       {/usr/projects/uml/linux-2.6.17-mm1}

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
