Subject: [patch 02/14] Modules: Include sections.h to avoid defining linker variables explicitly
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:14:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071127001429.624026039@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071127001407.859743255@sgi.com

[-- Attachment #1: mod_sections --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 974 bytes --]

Module.c should not define linker variables on its own. We have an include
file for that.
