I agree. We need to allow 1.2.13 to be compiled as ELF under GCC
2.7.0 onward. GCC 2.7.2 dies while trying to compile include/asm/io.h.
The only problem with having Linux 1.2.14 is that Linus is release
version 2.0 as soon as all the bugs have been ironed out of 1.3.x.

I think this is a great idea. However, I don't have that
include/asm/io.h patch with me right now.
