Couple of things new from 2.1.42:

- Sparc64 support.

- Genksyms takes a -p option to add a prefix to the crc of all symbols.
The intent here was to use this to distinguish SMP kernels from non-
SMP kernels.

- If COMBINE_INSMOD_RMMOD=y, insmod and rmmod will be stuck in a single
binary, taking their function from argv[0]. This is intended for use
on rescue disks and other places short of space.

And there were one or two random bug fixes as well.

Please find it at

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/alphabits/modutils/modutils-2.1.55.tar.gz

and (shortly) other mirrors. It should also show up in the kernel
distribution areas eventually as well.
