Subject: [Linux-ia64] Can't build ia32 support as a module
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 00:19:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590701905481@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to reduce the size of the 2.5.8 kernel so it'll fit
on my (rather small) efi partition along with a backup kernel.
Support for IA32 binaries is given as a tristate in the config file,
but attempting to compile it as a module does not and cannot work
(IA32 support relies on extra state in the thread_struct that's
conditional on CONFIG_IA32_SUPPORT)
In the short term I suggest changing tristate to bool in the config.in
file; in the long term, rearranging the code to allow modular
installation might be nice.
