OK, it makes sense. Another solution could have been to use ~0 instead of (unsigned long)-1, but at least using -1 is easier to match with other places. It would be kind to send the same patch for 2.6-mainline too. > processor_colons_gcc-2.95.3.patch > This patches include/asm/processor.h > Sometime between 2.4.29 and 2.4.36.2 spaces were deleted between colons > which causes compiler gcc 2.95.3 to fail to parse the header > when compiling applications which include it. > Adding back the spaces solves the problem on gcc 2.95.3. Amusing. Interestingly, I mostly build my kernels with 2.95.3 too and never got this funny thing. But I think that 2.95.3 has existed in so many flavors that all we know is that it's based on some 2.95.[234] + more or less a ton of patches. > gcc 4.1.1 also compiles the kernel OK with this patch." I have no worries about this :-) OK, I'm queueing your patches. Thanks Steve!
