RE: Unresolved symbol memset

["Michael Smith" <smithmg@agere.com>]

I have optimization turned.  Using -02 in the makefile.

I am new to the linux kernel but not kernel development.  If you still
think this is the wrong list, I will post on the other one.  Sorry if it
is the wrong list

You need to compile with optimisation turned on.

Btw, your question would be more appropriate on the kernelnewbies list -
