The issue with one kernel and 2 userspaces will also arise in sparc, when the sparc64 userland gets going. So it will need to be dealt with at some point, so I create a 3 lines additional patch for it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
