For backward compatibility, I would like to compile an ANSI C application

How is it possible ?
Do I need to copy /lib/libc-2.1.92.so (the one of 7.0) on 6.1
The conclusion: it's cannot be implemented without slowdown.
So ignore my patch.

Alan,
This patch (against 2.4.1-ac19) includes the following UP-APIC updates:
* Power Management: If the kernel's UP-APIC code enabled the local APIC
because the BIOS chose not to, it is imperative that the kernel also
disables the local APIC before entering apm/acpi suspend mode. Failure

Hello,
I just tried upgrading to 2.4.2-pre4 from 2.4.1 and get a hang when
mounting the file systems. I have the same problem with 2.4.1-ac18.
The system is a single processor P3 and uses a VIA chipset (Tyan
something-or-other). DMA, multi-sector IO, and 32bit sync are enabled
using hdparm

Hi Alan,
the following patch makes kswapd always flush the right amount
of pages in page_launder() (ie. the number of pages we need
to flush in order to work away the free shortage, minus the number
of swapouts already in flight).
This makes the system react better under write loads, because
