Re: Can one build 2.5.68 with allyesconfig?

[John Cherry]

As mentioned in other mail, compile statistics for the latest 2.5
kernels are at: http://www.osdl.org/archive/cherry/stability/

However, these statistics are based on defconfig and allmodconfig builds
(not allyesconfig).  The allmodconfig build contains the riscom8 errors
that you have observed as well as most other warnings/errors you would
find in an allyesconfig build.

I have also compiled a list of cli/sti removal candidates. The files
that flag cli/save_flags conversions are:

cli, save_flags conversions: 66 files

The complete list of porting items that I have pulled from compiler
output can be found at:

Sorry about occasional 404 problems.  This is an update artifact that we
are working on.  Just try again.
