Re: 2.4.5 and gcc v3 final

[Fabian Arias]

I've just applied the "patch", but te warning still appears. Is this
somthing not to be worried about or is it something serious?

/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/include/asm/checksum.h:161:17: warning: multi-line
string literals are deprecated

I had to come back to 2.95 to test the ac17. Not so happy about it. :(

Please give me some directions.
