Subject: Patch to compile 0.99.9 kernel with gcc 2.4.x
Date: 29 May 1993 10:53:33 GMT

The file keyboard.c in the 0.99.9 kernel contains some (technically
incorrect) code that happily compiles under gcc 2.3.3. Having ftp'd
gcc 2.4.0 and the patch release 2.4.1, I went to recompile my kernel
(I know, I know, so I like to live dangerously) and keyboard.c no
longer compiles. The following is a context diff showing the changes
that need to be made; I believe it is suitable for use with the 'patch'
utility.

BTW the kernel compiled with gcc 2.4.1 works just fine :-)
