2.4.13: some compilerwarnings...

[Sven Vermeulen]

No fatal errors or anything, kernel runs fine, but some compilerwarnings...
they could be in other kernelversions too, I only noticed them this time.

Been there for a while, and should be harmless.
If you really cared, you could add the new md5sums to the script
that does the checking. Can't remember why this changed without
them being updated.  Someone doing Janitor work perhaps?

AIUI, fixing these would mean breaking compilation with older versions
of binutils.

regards,

Dave.

Can't do that. Those md5sum's are there for a reason.

In $LINUXSOURCE/Documentation/isdn/HiSax.cert :

[...]
  If you change the main files of the HiSax ISDN stack, the certification
  will become invalid. Because in most countries it is illegal to connect
  unapproved ISDN equipment to the public network, I have to guarantee that
  changes in HiSax do not affect the certification.

  In order to make a valid certification apparent to the user, I have built
  in some validation checks that are made during the make process. The HiSax
  main files are protected by md5 checksums and the md5sum file is pgp
  signed by myself:

Ah, that'll be why they've been this way for a while then.

*shrug* Just live with it until an official update from the maintainers
I guess.

Dave.

Kill them in 2.5, there really isnt a hurry. If it bugs you that much
write yourself a scripts/asm AS:= target that is as 2>&1 | grep -v 8)

I think Alan once mentioned that this was sort of a feature to make old
versions of binutils work too. I'm not sure exactly how old those are
though, and if they are older than the recommended 2.9.1.0.25 I vote for
fixing these ugly warnings.
