This won't help completely unless you also clean up all archs to use the same mappings to the builtin functions. The main problem I had with -ffreestanding is that it's awkward to map a library function to the builtin function and also provide the fallback from lib/string.c. If you look at asm-m68k/string.h I once tried this with the mem* functions and I still have the duplicated memcmp in arch/m68k/lib/string.c. (You could argue that it would be easier to just remove the define for memcmp in this specific case, but I'm interested in the general case.) bye, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
