In human readable form , it is "DE43". Let me guess, you are using
gcc-2.8 or egcs and the de4x5 network driver ?
(Last one confirmed after looking at the config).
So this is the known problem with gcc-2.8/egcs and string.h.
Since de4x5 has been updated in the 2.1.88->2.1.89 patch, it's becoming
quite clear (after all it is this driver which started the whole thread).
I have an ad-hoc patch (attached) which worked with the driver in
November. It cures the code generation in _this_ case, but it might not
patch cleanly now. It's an ad-hoc hack, but declaring the signatures
array as static simply makes the problem disappear (and also make
the code shorter by avoiding an array initialization in function entry
code).
Gabriel.
