The out-of-line version of the string functions in arch/s390/lib/string.c needs EXPORT_SYMBOL and other stuff. To fix the problem without the seperate out-of-line prototypes would required to avoid the inclusing of linux/string.h. Which would be fragile if possible at all. So I think your patch is the best way to deal with the problem. -- blue skies, Martin.
