Subject: make include/linux/version.h cross compiled
Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2003 05:31:16 +0300 (EEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0304050525450.3622-100000@is6.invers.fi> (raw)


Hello,

	I have had some troubles trying to compile linux from a platform
that is not using gnu expr (sh-utils) the term "lenght" is not the least
common denominator. If I am not wrong my little patch makes this easier to
cross compiler from foreign arch and should not affect native compiles...

	I leave it to you guys to decide what to do with this. Thank you
for your work.

Philippe Trottier
