Oh so that's what __BASE_FILE__ does :(

I looked at cccp.c - there doesn't seem to be a way. Best
I can come up with is, in each directory, to do

ln -s $(TOPDIR)/include/linux i
and
gcc -Ii ...

which seems like a good way to get one's linux kernel license taken
away. Better off feeding the asm through sed(1).

No magic bullets. I think it's sufficient to go and individually
address the BUG-in-inline instances. But that's a separate patch.

Macrelo, here's the "Don't trash registers in BUG()" patch.

I tried hpa's `for ( ; ; );' suggestion - the kernel got bigger.
And I couldn't find a way of declaring BUG() to be noreturn, so
I think I'm done with this now.

BTW: it has been noted that I'm not doing 2.5 patches. All the stuff
I'm working on at present tends to be small, nasty, needed for 2.4 and
not critical for 2.5 at this time. I shall forward port anything which
falls through Dave's cracks, but not for a while yet.
