Re: Problem compiling egcs

Re: Problem compiling egcs

[Martin Costabel]

Just to set the record straight:

This problem is now solved. It came from a kernel header file
include/asm-ppc/ptrace.h which, in the vger version 2.3.3 of the last 2
weeks, contained the definition
   #define REG unsigned long
It has been fixed yesterday. Thanks, Cort.

Kernel sources

[Jerry Quinn]

I'm a little confused about what the correct kernel sources are for
linuxppc.

There are the main sources from Linus at kernel.org mirrored
everywhere.  There is the vger CVS tree.  And there are sources at
ftp.linuxppc.org for several kernels. Can someone please fill me in on
how things are operating?

Thanks,
