Severity: normal

During my work on the alpha boot loader aboot, I stumbled on the
following problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/prog/debian/ABOOT/aboot-0.9b-trisplit/lib$ env LANG=C make
gcc -Os -Wall -mno-fp-regs -fno-builtin -D__KERNEL__ -I../include  -c -o 
isolib.o isolib.c
In file included from /usr/include/linux/thread_info.h:21,
                 from /usr/include/linux/spinlock.h:12,
                 from /usr/include/linux/time.h:27,
                 from /usr/include/linux/stat.h:57,
                 from isolib.c:15:
/usr/include/asm/thread_info.h:49: global register variable follows a function 
definition
/usr/include/asm/thread_info.h:49: warning: call-clobbered register used for 
global register variable
make: *** [isolib.o] Error 1

This looks to me like an error in "thread_info.h". If you like, I can provide
you with the files, but more easily install the aboot sources, go into the
lib/ directory and run "make". (On alpha only currently)
