As usual I completely failed to make my point: Had I had to compile the LINT kernel, I know how to do it. The problem is that I assumed (hate that word :-) that the LINT kernel is sort of standard sanity check for sources and is supposed to compile all by itself, without me ``assisting'' it. As a bystander to this project, when I find failures of this nature, I know of no other course of action than to post a note like I did. > Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD This I agree with. completely :-) --- If Microsoft Built Cars: Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
