This removes the central ones preventing a bootable kernel from building without perl. For the record, the perl removal patches I submitted for 2.6.30, still work fine (they apply with offsets). Here are versions that apply without offsets to 2.6.31. Rob -- Latency is more important than throughput. It's that simple. - Linus Torvalds
