Okay, I have already been told it can't be done without modifications to
the kernel source. Now, what exactly is the problem with the packed
structures? OR is it something else? What needs to be changed to
get it to work, and why isn't/hasn't it been done? Doesn't it make more
sense to stick with one compiler (perhaps the latest, or at least later
than 1.39???) that is probably more bug free, and has better profiling
options and such? I move that we upgrade the kernel sources to be
compilable under 2.4.2, all in favor say *you do it*.. ;) Which of
course, I'd be happy to, if I knew what the hell I was supposed to be
looking for.. <G>
