Subject: [PATCH] fix alpha objstrip.c compilation warnings
Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 20:29:50 +0300 (EEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SOC.4.64.0707282025430.20474@math.ut.ee> (raw)

In current 2.6.23-rc1+git, make bootimage gives the following warnings 
while compiling objstrip.c. The patch below fixes these warnings by 
casting strncmp argument to char * - it does not seem feasible to change 
its type in struct elfhdr.
