SubjectRe: Simple patches for Linux as a guest OS in a plex86 VM (please consider)
Humm, that's a good idea.  I already made the mods
to files to add an #include <asm/if.h>. That would
be a logical place to stick such macros. I will
check this out and re-submit the patches if it's
workable.

Maybe this was what Andi meant too. Originally thought
he meant a script file wrapper for gcc.

Will write back soon,
-Kevin
