may some of you are as far as I am, otherwise here is the diff I had to
do to get a 2.3.39-linus-tree to compile & boot with a Wallstreet I.
hope to ok otherwise let me please know.

I think this patch is not quite the best way to do it.  We already had
32-bit uids so we don't need the compatibility crap.  Here is a patch that
fixes the compile (alternatively my linux-pmac-devel rsync tree has a
2.3.39 tree that compiles and works).

Take a look at 2.3.40-pre2.  It includes my uid16 fixes to the core and
to the Alpha arch.  The Alpha didn't need the 16-bit compatibility mess
either.

CONFIG_UID16 is now the define to test...  I simply added "define_bool
CONFIG_UID16 n" to arch/alpha/config.in, just to make it plain that the
compatibility stuff was not wanted.

Regards,

	Jeff
