SubjectTwo oddities with 2.2.13ac1
Haven't had a chance to dig into these too much yet, but
here's a couple problems I had:

1) setting CONFIG_X86_FX=y resulted in a link time
error (unresolved symbol __buggy_fxsr_alignment from
line 85 in include/asm-i386/bugs.h) which looks
intentional - why it happened on my system I don't
know... Looks like it's code that's intended to
be optimized out if certain conditions apply; but
it wasn't optimized out on my box (maybe due to
the use of pgcc -O6 -Os?).

2) after I got the kernel built successfully with
CONFIG_X86_CPU_OPTIMIZATIONS=y, trying to rebuild
the VMware modules failed - compiles are ok, but
the insmod step results in an undefined symbol
best_memset - maybe someone forgot to export a
symbol somewhere? Could also be a VMWare problem,
so I'll pursue that route as well. Problem disappeared
when I set CONFIG_X86_CPU_OPTIMIZATIONS=n.

System info:

Pentium II (Deschutes)
128MB
RedHat 6.0 base originally
pgcc 2.95.1

Any input you can provide would be appreciated. Don't
hesitate to ask if you need further info...
