Hello: Kernel compiled OK till v2.3.18 and v2.2.13-pre4.
After applying the ac5 patch to the unstable v2.3.18 and
also after applying patch 2.2.13pre8 to v2.2.12, compilation
stops at line 177 of /arch/i386/lib/usercopy.c
It stops and the relevant lines are as

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 'potato' and has bin86_0.14.3-1.
The problem is with the forbidden register value and is this
