This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is working on a patch to fix this. Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely change prototypes. Adding Nicholas in the cc, hopefully he can give a status update.
