Using kgcc enabled me to compile, but it didn't work then
either (unable to find a console device). This was because of the
way I configured the kernel.
Is the NFS getdents64 patch going to be included in the 1.0.1 release?
This looks more like general kernel compilation problems than something
about the patch itself. Which compiler and tools are you using?

Hi!
I'm encountering something that keeps me from using Linux in
my environment. There is a bug in the linux kernel 2.2.18 and
2.4.present kernels that will cause some files not to show up over
NFS mounts from Irix systems. I found my problem is discussed in
detail at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30944
and there is a patch for my problem:
http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.2/
BUT! I cannot get the patch to compile with the XFS kernel with
devfs. I thought it would take me an hour or two but have now spent
all day on it. I get though the compile with a vanilla config file
(all defaults) but when linking get the following message:
>/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s: Assembler messages:
>/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s:1056: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `shl'
>/tmp/cc9HoxYq.s:1112: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `shl'
>make[1]: *** [entry.o] Error 1
>make[1]: Leaving directory `src/linux-2.4-xfs-r1.0/linux/arch/i386/kernel'
>make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
A quick search on google resulted in a couple of anonymous posts that
claim to have this working. Has anyone got this patch working with
the XFS kernel?
I'd love either for a binary RPM (RH 7.1) of the patched
kernel or a working source tree. Can ya help?
