I think that the issue Zach tried to cover is the current inability to keep the same binary module across multiple kernel versions. That's why he compared modules<->kernel to ELF<->glibc. In that sense, he's right. I'm very happy when I find that old binaries I built with gcc-2.7.2 in 1997 still run under my glibc-2.3.6 without any need to rebuild (and potentially rebuild gcc-2.7.2 first). > Alan Willy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
