Ok, this problem seems to still persist in 2.6.23-rc8-mm2. It seems we have three options from here: 1) update the compiler support list to exclude these compilers, or 2) back this change out, or 3) switch to the version not using __weak. The latter seems to be the least intrusive change. As no-one closer to the problem is stepping up to make the decision I will propose we go with the third option here. -apw - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
