That comment alone suggests that you are not a C programmer, nor have you
read what I said: the semicolons were there. The compiler died on a parsing
error. My source was downloaded from kernel.org, and if I can't trust them,
then there's no point to Linux being open source.
Oh, and I doubt very much that there are "tens of thousands of people using
2.96 to build kernels every day". The overwhelming majority are using rpms,
and the *far* fewer whoare, are using what came with 7.3, or 8.0...or they're
using the version from GNU, or Debian, or SuSE, etc.
I happen to want to compile the kernel because I'm running on an AMD K-6, and
would like to have a kernel compiled for it, and with just the specific
modules I need, not the kitchen sink, or I'd use a binary rpm myself.
Oh - I'd also have taken this offlist, since the argument, if not my warning
(that was going along with *other* folks' warnings), is getting off-topic,
but the digest doesn't list eddreses, if you don't put them into your
message, or your .sig.
At any rate, drop your ego, and reconsider what the rest of us who don't like
this compiler version have said. You didn't create it, so *why* do you care
if it causes grief to a large number of the rest of us, and we recommend a
different release?
End of thread.
