I'm thinking that I can't load modules that are linked with `linux' because
I have the Linux emulation stuff built-in to my kernel, and not as a separate
module.

Can any module guru tell us exactly what the `linux' word does on the link
line? Does it mean ``the linux kernel module is required to load this module''?
If so, that's why I need to leave it off when I'm making these modules.

Vivek, I can't load any modules that were linked with the `linux' option.

Cheers,
	Warren
