It's never trivial but don't be discouraged if your report appears to fall between the cracks - it happens from time to time particularly when the subject is a bit obtuse. In any case to answer your question I use version 4.1.2 of GCC and the binutils package shows as 2.17.20070103cvs-0ubuntu2 As David says the check will go away in the near future, I reckon it's safe to ignore the problem (unless David objects) and disable it in your .config and continue with your testing.

The only reason for this is because once upon a time, the early FPGA versions of the CAFÉ chip had the same PCI ident for all three functions. The cluebat was applied; the chip was fixed long before tape-out. We can just drop the whole class/mask thing, I suspect -- I just want to boot it on and OLPC machine before I commit that. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
