One reason adding -g doesn't work at times is if the kernel is recompiled by a person with a different length username. vers.c is produced with a string which is a different length which screws up the offsets. Maybe newvers.sh should pad usernames to the legal max? Maybe we should warn people to touch vers.c after editing the Makefile? David.
