After downloading, and building with the default config there were tons of compile errors. These were some obvious errors like functions accepting more or less parameters then call sites were providing and tons of other obvious errors independent of the configuration. Eventually I plugged up all the errors and the thing comes up and seems to stay up. Is this sort of normal when building a source tree from kernel.org for IA64 or am I missing something? For i386 I have no problems like that. I'm a bit concerned if a vendor uses this as base for a distribution and has to plug up all these holes, you kind of wonder if there are any bugs left behind. - Mario.
