I am trying to compile kernel 2.2.16 sources with the latest released gcc
2.96-52 but am
stumbling on punctuation errors in checksum.S The relevant stanzas of
checksum.S are:
---------------------
....cut
*
* FIXME: could someone double-check whether I haven't mixed up some SRC and
* DST definitions? It's damn hard to trigger all cases. I hope I got
* them all but there's no guarantee.
*/
#define SRC(y...) \
9999: y; \
.section __ex_table, "a"; \
.long 9999b, 6001f ; \ /* line 230 */
.previous
#define DST(y...) \
9999: y; \
.section __ex_table, "a"; \
.long 9999b, 6002f ; \ /* line 236 */
.previous
align 4
globl csum_partial_copy_generic
....cut
-----------------------
while the relevant compiler error message is:
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/arch/i386/mm'

------------------
I also upgraded to cpp-2.96-52. If anyone has a suggestion for fixing
the punctuation, please pass it along. This note was originally posted
to comp.os.linux.development system two days ago without a
response....so I am hoping to tap into all the wisdom here.
