SubjectRe: Linux 2.4.17-pre6
At the end of a -pre6 bzImage compile I'm getting this:

gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-pre6/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA setup.S -o bsetup.s
as -o bsetup.o bsetup.s
bsetup.s: Assembler messages:
bsetup.s:1857: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `lcall'
make[1]: *** [bsetup.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.17-pre6/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzImage] Error 2

It looks like the following patch from -pre6 causes compiles to fail for
me:


--- linux-2.4.16/arch/i386/boot/setup.S Fri Nov 9 19:58:02 2001
+++ linux/arch/i386/boot/setup.S Fri Dec 7 16:53:24 2001

- lcall %cs:realmode_swtch
+ lcall *%cs:realmode_swtch

jmp rmodeswtch_end

Now granted, I'm a little behind:

% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
% ld -v
GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.22)

But do we really want to prevent RH6.2 (for example) from compiling 2.4
at this late stage? 2.95.3 became the minimum _after_ 2.4 was released,
I now notice in Changes.

I'm reverting this patchlet for now, but I'm unsure if this will cause
functionality issues. Any input would be appreciated.

I could shift to 2.95.3, but with 3.0 "around the corner", I'm hesitant
to spend the additional testing time. Not a huge deal, but...

Thanks,
