Subjectmath-emu dead in 2.1.96?
Hello guys (or gals, or others, as the case may be <G>):

When compiling 2.1.96 in my "5 buck" configuration (i.e. very minimial,
for bootstraping a 4mb 386sx), I get the following error:
[...]
make[2]: Entering directory `/hdd3/linux/arch/i386/math-emu'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/hdd3/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m386 -DCPU=386 -DPARANOID
-fno-builtin -DPARANOID -fno-builtin -c -o fpu_entry.o fpu_entry.c
fpu_entry.c: In function `math_emulate':
fpu_entry.c:193: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type
fpu_entry.c:193: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[2]: *** [fpu_entry.o] Error 1
[...]

The line is "if ( SEG_D_SIZE(code_descriptor = LDT_DESCRIPTOR(FPU_CS)) )",
which looks _way_ to in-depth for me to be messing with <G>. I'm guessing
this is related to the changes for SMP FPU lazy-[read/write]s. BTW --
2.1.96-pre1 didn't scan for partitions inside of extended partitions for
me. I'll write another email if 2.1.96 proper does the same.

Where do you want to go today?
We might support that sometime next year.

(But I doubt it.)
