What if he's trying to build UML to run on NetBSD? What if the best QA'd
cross-gcc he has available is a generic arm-elf-gcc and he doesn't want to
rebuild and do a full test and release cycle on it just because a handful
of the kernel header files assume __linux__ will be defined?
> I don't know (I never tried to compile a *BSD kernel).
If you don't know, who was it that typed 'This is definitely wrong' in your
first mail? Your cat?
> But if yes please consider what the following parts of your patch change:
> -#ifndef __linux__
> +#ifndef __KERNEL__
Well, if he hadn't explicitly mentioned that he made header files which
could be included by userspace use defined(__KERNEL__)||defined(__linux__)
then I'd understand what you meant. As it is, I don't. Please explain.
