We are trying to build userland apps with the newer kernel headers. Unexpected problems occur with the "static inline" declaration when "-ansi" option is used. Anybody else is having the problem? Also, what are the reasons for us to switch to "static inline" in the kernel header? Here is an example I am talking about: In 2.4.2, we have in bitops.h: extern __inline__ unsigned long ffz(unsigned long word) In 2.4.17, we have instead: static inline unsigned long ffz(unsigned long word) This problem seems only happening with gcc 3.x. I start to wonder whether we should fix kernel header. In some case, the fix seems to be not exposing to userland (by #ifdef __KERNEL__). In others, the fix might be using __inline__. However, I really like to know what was the original motivation to do such a change. BTW, the inclusion of "mipsregs.h" file in bitops.h seems unnecessary and caused a bunch of similar errors. Jun
