Ow so you mean you want me to run -rc compiler/linker too? In any case we are generating quite a bit of code by ourselves, this would need handling, we can do it uniformly. > Alternatively, stop doing compiles on horribly unstable kernels. > > -- PMM Well I do lots of kernel development so I dislike the alternatives: - Compile on a stable kernel, reboot, test, reboot back to stable kernel - Compile on another box and copy bits over -- MST
