This ifdef is a bug and is not present in my version. It makes lint see different things than the compiler would and thus breaks checking of some areas. E.g., it hides the syntax error "__packed" and binary compatibility breakage for compilers that don't support __packed, and this breakage isn't even limited to the kernel. I still have the lint ifdef for __FBSDID(). Bruce
