Discussion in some gnu list revealed that it reportedly (someone at cygnus commented to me) had been in 2.0.5 . It seems to have gone thus breaking binutils compilation or requiring a FreeBSD patch to binutils. My question: Has it been removed for POSIXification reasons or what was the reason it had been removed? ---------------------------- revision 1.20 date: 1996/05/02 14:20:02; author: phk; state: Exp; lines: +20 -26 removed: CLBYTES PD_SHIFT PGSHIFT NBPG PGOFSET CLSIZELOG2 CLSIZE pdei() ptei() kvtopte() ptetov() ispt() ptetoav() &c &c new: NPDEPG Major macro cleanup. --Chris Christoph P.
