2.6.0 setup.S assembler messages

2.6.0 setup.S assembler messages

[Tim Cambrant]

I posted this a while ago but got no replies. When I compiled 2.6.0 today,
the warning was still there, so I felt that a repost might be useful for
someone.

I thought it would be best to report this warning I get at the 
very end of the compiling-process. I'm no programmer or kernel- 
developer, so there is no way for me to tell of what significance 
this is. 

Anyway, I get this message even after a 'make mrproper', so I'm 
quite sure it's not a problem with old junk-files or something. 
When I look in setup.S at line 165, I find nothing but a reference 
to MAXMEM-1 or something like that, and it does seem odd that the 
value gets truncated into an identical value (unless the value was 
truncated before the message got printed, that is). 

--------------------------------------- 
AS arch/i386/boot/setup.o 
	arch/i386/boot/setup.S: Assembler messages: 
	arch/i386/boot/setup.S:165: Warning: value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff
LD arch/i386/boot/setup 
--------------------------------------- 

I'm running i386-systems with the 2.6.0-kernel. I got the same 
message on two different computers, one AMD Athlon TBird, and one 
Intel Celeron. 

Is this a known problem, and is there a fix to this somehow?

By the way, both of my systems are using GCC 3.2.3-r3 with GLIBC 2.3.2-r3
if that is of any significance.
