LS,

To whom it may concern, in linux/init.h there is some weak-alias stuff
going on, but only for gcc 2.95 compilers and better. However, my
'standard' 6.1 redhat egcs 1.1.2 compiler seems to compile this
stuff very well also.

So, i propose the following litte patch, which nibbles a few(32)
bytes of every module... which might proof interesting for the
coming 2.4 release...

Met vriendelijke groet,
Pauline Middelink
