Re: linux-2.4.5[-ac8] warnings while compiling

Hello Leonid Mamtchenkov,

Once you wrote about "linux-2.4.5[-ac8] warnings while compiling":
LM> While compile kernel 2.4.5 or 2.4.5-ac8 I get lots of warning, which look like
LM> this:
LM> ---- kernel.stderr start ----
LM> In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.5-ac8/include/linux/raid/md.h:51,

LM> ----- kernel.stderr end -----

Sorry for replying to myself, but the problem can be solved by doing
"make mrproper" (thanks to Bill Pringlemeir).

Now I am left only with following warnings, in case someone is interested.
