efax is a compilation as well. I would be up for trying it, but it

The main advantage of efax over kbuild is that it is completely immune
to unfairness. And it used to have a low variance (in 2.4). Other than
that, access patterns are similar enough to make me suspect that gcc
loads are all quite similar.

needs quite a lot of GUI dev libraries installed to compile it.

I'll get onto it sometime I suppose, but for now I'll try to leave
my test box unchanged.

You can actually do something like which shouldn't require the
dependencies on the test box:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/cc1plus -fpreprocessed efaxi586.ii \
-quiet -O2 -Wall -fexceptions -frtti -fsigned-char -fno-check-new -o main.s

Could you zip up the preprocessed file and send it to me if possible
please? (off list of course)

All you need is the preprocessed code.


I can test a couple of patches I you care, though. Which ones?

I have 3 patches here http://www.kerneltrap.org/~npiggin/vm/
that should apply in order. If you apply to the -mm tree, please
back out the rss limit patch first.

If you can test them it would be good.

I would be interested in soon looking at some of your patches in
combination with these.
