I just tried out the latest versions of gcc (3.3.2) and binutils (2.14.90.7) to see if the dependency violation stuff had been fixed since I saw that the bintutils changelog mentioned it, but unfortunately I still see some warnings (though I _think_ there are fewer than before). I've attached the kernel config I used to build linux-2.6.0-test9-mm2, but it should also work with David or Linus's BK trees. Thanks, Jesse
