Hello,

I get the following compilation error:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp2/src/linux-2.4.3.jh/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O

I use:
# gcc --version
2.95.3
(Mandrake 7.2)

This variables were defined in asm/string.h but now I can only find them
in asm/hw_irq.h. I have included asm/hw_irq.h and it compiles but I get
a warning:

rm -f proc.o
