Hello all,

I adapted the 0.13 patch for 2.4.20 to 2.4.32. There were some 7-8
rejects, but 3-4 mattered for me (since I have an x86 box). The other
rejects were in sparc and mips arch-specific directories.

I don't get past the 'Loading vmlinuz...' message. When I try with gcc
2.95.3 with the patch, it doesn't even uncompress the kernel. Hangs
before that. With unpatched gcc, the hang happens after uncompressing
the kernel.

Any idea why this might be so?

BTW, I have patched the userspace tools to compile cleanly with ANSI
C. I'll post the patch in a separate post.

Amit.
