683 2328 27265 linux-2.6.8-build_on_case_insensitive_fs-1.patch 28 122 1028 linux-2.6.8-noshared-kconfig.patchCan you please post these two patches. The fist I hope is very small today.OK, here they are, plus a third one that also seems neccessary: This one's by Martin Schaffner: http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37/patches/linux-2.6.8/linux-2.6.8-build_on_case_insensitive_fs.patch
Most of this is done in current linus-BK. I'm planning to handle asm-offset in another way and will then start to get rid of .S -> .s
This one's by Kevin Hilman. I haven't tried it yet, but seems neccessary: http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/linux-2.6.8-netfilter-case-insensitive.patch
This should be taken with the netfilter people.
Both of the above choose arbitrary ways to avoid using filenames identical but for case. Feel free to pick some other way, there's nothing magic about the names we picked. This one's after an idea by bertrand.marquis@sysgo.com, but it's small enough to be considered trivial. Many OS's don't support shared libraries as easily as Linux does, and there's nothing to be gained by making libkconfig shared, so don't. http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc37/patches/linux-2.6.8/linux-2.6.8-noshared-kconfig.patch
I will give this a try - and apply if I see no problems. Sam
