modpost change proposed

[Karel Kulhavy]

Hello

If the modpost has error it dumps core:
modpost: vmlinux no symtab?
/bin/sh: line 1: 28307 Aborted                 (core dumped)
scripts/mod/modpost -o
/home/clock/edb9302/cirrus-arm-linux-1.0.7/linux-2.6.8.1/Module.symvers
vmlinux drivers/net/wireless/hermes.o drivers/net/wireless/orinoco.o
drivers/net/wireless/orinoco_cs.o drivers/usb/gadget/g_file_storage.o
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 134

I suggest the abort(); to be everywhere replaced with exit(1) for the
following reasons:
1) it's customary
2) core dumping looks scary
3) the core takes up space on disk

Regards,

CL<
