I want to get unnamed structure support. It _might_ work, but keep in mind that compiling the kernel (or even kernel modules) with anything other than the provided system compiler is _untested_ and _unsupported_. There is a real possibility that things will break in mysterious and difficult-to-diagnose ways. If you're willing to break the kernel just to get unnamed structures, try -CURRENT. ;-) Tim Kientzle
