Steven was looking into this but every variant of the if() macro he tried wasn't able to eliminate all of the problems. We've been discussing this with him in another thread for several days. The S390 folks are running into these kinds of problems too. It's basically an issue of how deeply older GCCs will search into the control flow of a very complex conditional. There really isn't anything we can do about that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
