hi,

every now and then i get an error when trying to compile 2.4 kernels.
to see what's going on i just moved drivers/char/defkeymap.* to
somewhere else and did the following:


- ---------------------------------
$ la drivers/char/defkeymap.*
ls: drivers/char/defkeymap.*: No such file or directory
$ bk co drivers/char/defkeymap.c
drivers/char/defkeymap.c 1.1: 262 lines
$ bk co drivers/char/defkeymap.map
drivers/char/defkeymap.map 1.1: 357 lines
$ la drivers/char/defkeymap.*

- -r--r--r--    1 evil users  12K Jun  2 16:26 drivers/char/defkeymap.map

$ make bzImage 2>&1 | tail -n10
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4-BK/drivers/char'
set -e ; loadkeys --mktable defkeymap.map | sed -e 's/^static *//' >
defkeymap.c

$ umask

- ---------------------------------

i'll chmod drivers/char/defkeymap.c to 0644 then and it's compiling
then. i can also *ignore* the error ("make -i") and the kernel will
build fine. how comes? and why is the file 0444 at all?

Thanks,
Christian.
