Dave, is that fixable? I assume not, in which case we either go for some open-coded implementation for 8- and 16-bits or we should ban (at compile time) 8- and 16-bit xchg on all architectures. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
