Hi folks,
I tried building Linux kernel 2.1.98 on an alpha pc164lx. Things fail
when ld tries to link the vmlinux file, 'cause it misses __builtin_memset.
I tried with egcs-1.0.2, and also with gcc-2.8.1. Same story.
gcc-2.7.2.3 does not exhibit this problem.
I use binutils 2.9.0.3. The rest of the system is basically RH 5.0.
Anybody can shed some light on this?
Christian

It was my mistake in selecting the test in include/asm-alpha/string.h.
You'll have to change the `#if __GNUC__ >=2 ...' to `#if 0'.

It will, incidentially, work with the egcs snapshots, which is where
the proper __builtin_memset support was added. ;-)
