Hi Alan, all,
The attached .config fails to build on 2.4.22-pre3-ac1, but builds (and
runs) fine on 2.4.22-pre3. The build error (during linkage) is:
(make bzImage)

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
The symbol xapic_support is defined in arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c as
"extern unsigned int xapic_support;"
But it is declared nowhere. Note that the symbol is new in -ac1.
>From comparing the pre3 and pre3-ac1 versions of io_apic.c, I conclude that
this is some unfinished work and not a typo. What probably is missing is some
change to another file that should decare (and set) xapic_support.
Sorry for not being able to submit a patch, but I hope my analyses helps.
Regards,
Bas.
