If gcc is not honouring __attribute__ ((weak)) then you have a broken or obsolete version of gcc. You need at least gcc 2.91.66 for kernel 2.4. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
