Indeed, 2.4.11 compiled on Sparc32, the first since a long time.
I couldn't run the one one I tried because it told me it was too
big. Before I could shrink it, 2.4.12 appeared, and of course:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.12/include/linux/interrupt.h:77: warning:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.12/include/asm/softirq.h:31: warning: this is the location

So what would be course of action? I tried 2.4.13-pre3, and 2.4.12-ac4.
Same result.
... 2.4 is supposed to be a stable kernel, so the first thing I'd expect
is that it compiles; and that it won't break compilation on a complete
architecture every other version. If there are hardware-issues, that's
one thing, but _compilation_ issues, that's a no-no. If I ever meet Linus,
he'll be getting a brown paper bag from me... <grmbl>.
Thank you
