For a large number of systems you don't need the CRC library. There are no systems where you don't need memcpy, so your comparison is stupid to say the least.
"Gee making this link is hard" is not a good reason to simplify the config file, its a good reason to simplify the make file system - 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/
