more pedantry here -- can someone clarify what the point is of checking for "__STDC__" being defined, and adding that macro to the definition of CHECKFLAGS in the top-level Makefile? Makefile:CHECKFLAGS := -D__linux__ -Dlinux -D__STDC__ -Dunix \ -D__unix__ -Wbitwise $(CF) as i understand it, the kernel source has the freedom to use whatever gcc extensions it wants, but "checking" the source tree (with, for example "sparse") first defines "__STDC__". why? what's the point in checking for STDC compatibility here? or am i misreading this? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
