Hi Linus, Andrew, lkml.

Here follows a few kbuild updates.
None of these are critical fixes so they may live in -mm for a while,
but safe to add to mainline.

o Adaptions for solaris and cygwin
- I would be happy to hear reports of outstanding issues when
building a kernel on non-linux platforms
- The primary target group for this is embedded people that
often use non-Linux environements.

o new static analyser tool 'namespacecheck' from Keith Owens.
- Try it on your code and fix the issues
- The kernel shall be build before running the tool:
-> make namespacecheck
Read comments in scripts/namespacecheck.pl to interpret the output
- The output is comprehensive: ~8000 lines for allmodconfig kernel

Patches not previously posted will be posted to lkml.

Everything pushed to:
