Drop that - the fix is in my tree currently, I'll forward it soon. And the 
fix, instead of #ifdef'ing it out, adds the support for using TT & SYSEMU.

SKAS / SYSEMU are entirely uninteresting right now until the host OS
support for these gets merged

i really don't think it's a good enough reason to hold other things up
and i'd prefer to see the fixes go in as-is and further updates ontop
of these

Well, this is completely questionable. Even if SKAS3 will never be merged in 
mainline on the host side, the SKAS3 support in UML has already been merged. 
And I think SYSEMU will be much more welcome than those patches (in fact, 
it's completely independent from the SKAS patch).

For an earlier discussion, see:

http://www.kerneltraffic.org/kernel-traffic/kt20030106_199.html#4

And even if SKAS3 will not be merged, SKAS4 will, and the current UML SKAS 
code should need just a very few changes. While having the code in mainline 
is important to get it fixed with API changes.

This would be generally right, but for now, please hold on until next -rc.
Sorry for the problem and thanks for the help!

Hi !

I think I have to disagree: Many people who use UML have no problem with the fact, that they need to patch & recompile their host
kernel. Sure it would be nicer, if the stock kernel would have this out "of the box", but at least some distros (at least SuSE - are
there others?) have Skas3 already merged into _their_ kernel.

Roland

In Jeff's tree IIRC, in fact I can build that way easily. For STATIC_LINK 
instead it's more difficult - either load-low or newer binutils broke it.
