Thanks, pulled and pushed out.

Oh, I just got a few reports of 2.6.18-rc3 not building with external
trees very well, and something like the following would be required:

--- linux-2.6.17/arch/sh/Makefile-dist        2006-08-07 20:42:33.000000000 +0200
+++ linux-2.6.17/arch/sh/Makefile     2006-08-07 21:08:26.000000000 +0200

 archprepare: maketools include/asm-sh/.cpu include/asm-sh/.mach

 PHONY += maketools FORCE
-maketools:  include/linux/version.h FORCE
+maketools: $(objtree)/include/linux/version.h FORCE

for all instances of the version.h file.

Was this fixed in -rc4 and I should update the SuSE kernel to it (well,
I'll do that anyway later today...), or is this something that you did
not know about?

thanks,
