Bollocks :-)

Still the same problem I told you about a couple of days ago: it
doesn't compile with the recommended compiler (gcc 2.7.2.3). Maybe
this time you'll apply my patch? ;-)
And I'm still waiting for a solution (or an update to
Documentation/Changes that tells me which binutils I really need) for
this problem:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/kernel/v2.3/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -c -o ptrace.o ptrace.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:1814: Error: no such 386 instruction: `ldmxcsr'
make[1]: *** [traps.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kernel/v2.3/linux-2.4.0-test2+fix/arch/i386/kernel'
