They STILL leave thousands of dead symlinks lying around after `make mrproper' and generally seem to muck up the kbuild system a bit, although nothing that a bit of Sam love wouldn't fix. Plus it breaks the build on a few architectures (branch out of range, mainly), but that's a fairly minor thing which could even be worked around in Kconfig (disable the offending code if gcov is enabled) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
