[uml-devel] 2.6.17-rc1 with hardened gcc

[Antoine Martin]

I thought I'd give it a try.
I guess that these aren't bugs (since switching to non-hardened gcc
fixes most problems) but maybe this is useful to someone?
Otherwise just ignore most issues in this email.
- the configs are available at http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/kernels
- GCC 3.4.5 hardened

First, the good old ASM errors are still here (IIRC there is no easy way
to solve this):

AMD64 works fully, but there are some warnings during the build:

Something else I've noticed is that some kernels fail if TT is compiled
in, even though it boots into skas0 or skas3 mode. I guess this isn't
really that important since TT is going to go away.

Finally, congratulations! all the images I have built now work - even
fedora (4 and 5) and opensuse.
