Compiling bug - broken compile

Hi,

I'm using the 2.4.7 Kernel.
I'm trying to make this work without any BIOS support so I configure the
kernel to use "Direct" PCI calls through the menuconfig scripts. I also turn
off PCI Hot Pluggable support.

The build will break during "make zImage" at the end during the link phase.
It says it cannot find the symbol pcibios_set_irq_routing and
pcibios_get_irq_routing_table.

If I configure PCI to use BIOS calls, it work fine.

I noticed the problem lies in the file arch/i386/kernel/i386_ksyms.c
In that file EXPORT_SYMBOL(pcibios_set_irq_routing) is placed under #ifdef
CONFIG_PCI. If I add another clause #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_BIOS (which I presume
from the Config.in file is the definition for PCI Bios calls instead of
Direct calls), then it works fine.

Regards,
Ramit Bhalla.

2.4.7 is really outdated and contains many bugs that are fixed in more
recent kernels. Could you check whether the problem still exists in kernel
2.4.18?
