Hi,
I've spent this weekend on rebuilding HLFS (proof reading, hehe) and
besides some minor problems I don't all remember I ran into a serious one.
Book instructs you to wrap fwrite()s with plain assert()...
Manual says fwrite is defined like this:
size_t fwrite(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);
It says also that "If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the
return value is a short item count (or zero).". That is reason, why kernel
compilation failed. It's the very best testsuite... :]
So, modify asserts, to check length against fwrite()'s return value...
