Ahh, okay. I'm just jumpy because this is a production server.

Thanks for the answer. :-)

It's a binutils version issue. Older binutils didn't
require the '*', while newer ones print a warning when
it's missing. Adding the missing '*'s breaks old binutils,
which isn't considered acceptable in the stable 2.4 series.

So just live with the warnings, or apply personal patches
to silence them (like I've been doing for ages).

indirect lcall without `*'

2005-03-12 Thread Hacksaw 
In compiling 2.4.29 I get this during the compilation of pci-pc.c:

Warning: indirect lcall without `*'

I note from looking around the net that this is an old "problem", dating back 
at least to 2.4.18, if not earlier.

What does it mean? Should I care? If I shouldn't, shouldn't there be a message 
somewhere in the build process that says "This isn't a problem" so people 
don't write to lkml and ask about it?

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
