apologies for not sending a patch — I'm working with a rather old tree (2.6.21-ish vintage) and am uncertain how useful one would be — but just collided with a trivial syntax error in include/asm-mips/gdb-stub.h long lo; #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS long acx #endif long cp0_badvaddr; there is missing semicolon (‘;’) on the centre line (acx). this mistake is seems to exist in at least the following (and very probably elsewhere (I'm not a git expert!)): linux-2.6.25.13 linux-2.6.25.14 linux-2.6.25.15 linux-2.6.25.16 linux-2.6.25.17 linux-2.6.25.18 linux-2.6.25.19 linux-2.6.25.20 linux-2.6.26.1 linux-2.6.26.2 linux-2.6.26.3 linux-2.6.26.4 linux-2.6.26.5 linux-2.6.26.6 linux-2.6.26.7 linux-2.6.26.8 cheers! -blf- -- “How many surrealists does it take to | Brian Foster change a lightbulb?
