After I apply the kdb patch to 2.2.18-pre15 and compile, I get this error:
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c
init/main.c: In function `parse_options':

init/main.c:1494: warning: implicit declaration of function `cpu_idle'
make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
It appears the problem is a right-brace missing after line 1307 in main.c.
This brace closes the block started on line 1284.
(I'd supply a patch, but I don't know how to make one).
Unfortunately, it still doesn't compile.

The variable "regs" is not defined anywhere.
Does anyone actually test these patches before publishing them? How could such
obvious errors be missed?
