Can this checking in > the compiler then be switched off for a kernel build (or specific files > only)? Because obviously an ia64 kernel can't be built successfully with a > GCC made with `--enable-checking=yes,extra,rtl`. You can do -fno-checking to disable some bits at runtime. If that isn't enough for this case, you may want to drop the calls to qsort_chk or stub it out.
