That suggests that to generate a smaller kernel one should set the option to n. However the short text says: "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'" While suggests that one should set it to y to generate smaller kernels. My own experience says that setting it to y DOES generate a smaller kernel so perhaps the main text should be changed to reflect this? Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/
