Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86, head_32: Remove an old gcc2 fix
Date: Sat,  9 Feb 2013 20:52:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360439574-16122-6-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360439574-16122-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

gcc2 wants direction flag cleared but we don't support gcc2 anymore. So
drop it. Original patch adding this was:

commit 57d40092c375d2b6d34f814f5fb306967e22c4f5
Author: linus1 <torvalds@linuxfoundation.org>
Date:   Mon Nov 9 12:00:00 1992 -0600

    [PATCH] Linux-0.98.4 (November 9, 1992)
