   Dave, let me unload a bunch of patches which fix compilation errors and
   warnings with gcc-3.5.  Most or all of these are applicable to gcc-3.4 as
   well.
   
   The most common problem is using a typecasted expression as an lvalue. 
   This is actually a fatal error in gcc-3.5.
   
All applied, except the drivers/net ones (sans tg3) which Jeff said
that he got.

   The sctp fix is interesting - sctp.h is using attribute((packed)) on all
   its structures and as far as I can tell, it never did anything.
   
Amusing...
