And this is entirely correct. It used to be incumbent on people to keep LINT in working order for exactly that reason and it's quite unfortunate that this has been slacked off on a bit in -current recently. It was never anyone's intention that a LINT kernel be bootable, but it was supposed to at least compile and, now that it doesn't, will be hiding any number of problems from detection in that manner. It should be fixed by whomever broke it last, to paraphrase Bruce. Jordan
