I could think of 2 ways: - fix memcpy() so that it returns the dest-pointer instead of 0. (However there might be a reason that it returns 0 ... - keep the "kernel,debug: SPARC KGDB stub strcpy fix" patch but change the summary of the patch to: Works aroung the fact that strcpy with a constant string is converted to memcpy by gcc and that memcpy in SPARC returns 0. I'll send the 2 possibilities as a reply in a moment. -- Konrad -- 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
