I assume the header-file ifdefs are not problematic. The functions in kernel/sys.c are already grouped together in a single block and needed only one ifdef. So I'd assume the main problem is the multiple ifdefs in capability.c and groups.c? Might be possible to consolidate those, sure. > It also doesn't appear to be dropping all it should - why can't you > simply not compile in groups.c for example ?

Making groups.c entirely optional has been on the todo list for a while; it's rather harder than just dropping the syscalls, as some of its other functions are exported to the rest of the kernel as well, but it's doable. - Josh Triplett -- 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/
