hi, ralf, since your sync in pre7 of the 2.4 kernel, i get 2 missing defines (in include/linux/elf.h if i am not mistaken)... EF_MIPS_ABI and EF_MIPS_ABI2. in the latest binutils mips.h and in /usr/include/elf.h those are defined. whats up? ;) i also have problems with unresolved symbols in ip22-setup.o since 2.4.18 - setup_console is unresolved, but that is devfs-specific if i am not mistaken... i will have a look at it as i find some spare time. thanks in advance, FAKE
