Oh yeah, and figure out what actually breaks on alpha such that they added the following (arch/alpha/include/asm/compiler.h) #ifdef __KERNEL__ /* Some idiots over in <linux/compiler.h> thought inline should imply always_inline. This breaks stuff. We'll include this file whenever we run into such problems. */ #include <linux/compiler.h> #undef inline #undef __inline__ #undef __inline #undef __always_inline #define __always_inline inline __attribute__((always_inline)) #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ Cheers, Harvey -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
