2.0.25 hasnt made it to ftp.funet.fi by some reason, but I got it from
ftp.cs.helsinki.fi. Now.. when compiling it I get:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o time.o time.c
{standard input}: Assemblermessages:
{standard input}:768: Error: no such 386 instruction: `rdmsr'
{standard input}:770: Error: no such 386 instruction: `wrmsr'
make[1]: *** [time.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/disks/sda5/usrsrc/linux-2.0.25/arch/i386/kernel'
make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2

As far as I can see, this is a part of the AMD patch...

Does this mean that I have to upgrade to gcc 2.7.2 or later in order to
compile on my intel p133, or can I safely disable that part of the patch
by reason that I will never run an AMD processor in my system?

Right now I have gcc 2.7.0 and libc 5.0.9.
