Can one include one's own arch/mips/korva/skbuff.c? But with network.o being a monolithic blob .o instead of a .a, seems like patching the one file is not feasible. I tried tweaking $(HEAD) but then stumbled onto this. How does one package such a work-around? Include a patch file in the LSP, which gets automatically run to munge on kernel sources? Or will linux-mips.sf.net accept a patch for net/core/skbuff.c? Geoff -- Geoffrey Espin espin@idiom.com
