But it gets deleted by a 'make clean'. I do not wish to have to keep binary
distributions of the kernel around forever, especially since kernel updates
aren't so frequent on my part (I will stay will 1.2.x as long as 1.3.x
doesn't introduce features I need). I believe this is true for a lot of
other people, too. Currently, before a make clean, I have to copy System.map
out of the way before 'make clean'. This is not documented, and if somebody
forgets it, he has to recompile the entire kernel to generate it again.
So, I would like the following patch to get included into the standard
kernel: (this is against 1.2.11)

It would be cleaner to just copy System.map to some other location, like
/usr/src/linux/v1.x.xx/System.map or something like that and to have the
tools resolve it from there, but for now, I think this is good enough.
