Your efforts appear successful on my K6-166, RedHat 5.0 system. The
patch applied cleanly and I only noticed a couple of warnings flashing
by during the make dep. I didn't capture them, but I can rerun the
compile if needed. The patches were applied against a clean 2.0.33
source tree. Everything seems to work with no problems. Hope this
helps.
