That makes the BRSGP issue go away for me as well. Yippie! It was a 
long-standing nuisance for me.


Now I only have this one left:

  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strcat.o): In function `strcat':
(.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxcpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(ev6-stxcpy.o)
arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(strncat.o): In function `strncat':
(.text+0x60): relocation truncated to fit: BRADDR against symbol `__stxncpy' defined in .text section in arch/alpha/lib/lib.a(ev6-stxncpy.o)
make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-ds20'
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Anything for me to try? 


Thanks,
Thorsten
