Hello Linus, hello kernel gang,

there is a bug in the master Makefile as of 2.1.106. It was introduced with
the ARM related stuff and shows itself on sparc:

ARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ -e s/arm*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/)

will change "sparc" into "sparmc", because of a missing "." in the regular
expression. The correct sequence is:

ARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/)

Yours,
Dominik Kubla

PS. Is it intended to merge the missing SPARC stuff before 2.2? With RH and
Debian preparing or already shipping S/Linux distributions, it would be
good if the kernels distributed via ftp.kernel.org would at least
compile...

    in fact, anyone who has played role-playing games knows that God
    probably had to roll quite a few dice to come up with a character like
    Einstein.  -- Larry Wall
