When compiling 2.1.96 in my "5 buck" configuration (i.e. very minimial,
for bootstraping a 4mb 386sx), I get the following error:
[...]

The line is "if ( SEG_D_SIZE(code_descriptor = LDT_DESCRIPTOR(FPU_CS)) )",
which looks _way_ to in-depth for me to be messing with <G>. I'm guessing
this is related to the changes for SMP FPU lazy-[read/write]s. BTW --
2.1.96-pre1 didn't scan for partitions inside of extended partitions for
me. I'll write another email if 2.1.96 proper does the same.
