        Propably the stricter interpretation of rules regarding ##
        attribute concatenation directive, and resulting material.

        I found bugs in my own source regarding that issue when I
        begun to use 2.96 (RH rawhide back then) at one of my machines.

        Once I understood the warning/error, it was quick to fix
        things properly at my source. Similar is needed for some
        Kernel macroes, IMO.

        Aside of that pre-processor noice I don't know if 2.96 is really
        buggy -- well, some strange combination of 2.96 20000702 and
        glibc-devel-2.1.92-5 causes one of my codes to fail, but I haven't
        determined what really is going on (very deep macro wonders there...)
        When compiled with RH kgcc (egcs-1.1.2, that is), it works.
