Did the 0 day tester find these? If so, then maybe you should wait a while longer before adding these things to your published trees. If not, then I wonder why not. Even so as a developer, you should not really be submitting patches that have not been at least build tested. You can find out which files are affected by these config changes and then really simply do: (assuming an x86 native platform - adjust for cross compiling) $ mkdir ../test.obj $ make O=../test.obj allmodconfig <make sure that the CONFIG options got turned on> $ make O=../test.obj <files affected s/.c/.o/> You don't need to do full builds to find most of this stuff. Of course, this will not find link time errors or missing module symbols. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
