Perhaps, but then there are other people that deserve credit. Stallman, 
Torvalds, Mantegazza, Yodakin, not forgetting Proctor, Shackleford, Kramer, 
and countless others (oh, and Bill Gates).

Whoa... You guys need to ease up on the coffee or what ever meds you are 
on ;-)   Even although we are susposedly all speaking English, I sometimes 
wonder if them 'mericuns threw out all the best bits when they declared 
independance.

I say "958 compile time errors", you say "we only see a few".What should be 
happening is a close look at what the warnings say, followed by some 
workflow.... e.g.
 "[MOD] Duplicate symbol yadda, yadda"...
Hrmmm. those symbols are exported by modules X, Y, and P.
But.... we bypass the symbol tables that the kernel manages by feeding 
pointers in to Wibble.
So.... don't need to export those symbols, which means a few bytes are saved.
OK, that's reduced the count, how can we clean up the rest....

Not everyone runs the same flavour of Linux, likewise, not everyone speaks the 
same flavour of English (hell, some of the guys round here need subtitles).
