    (no complaints about 2.2.18pre12 from real work - my usb mouse works
    well).

    * make xconfig gave 2 errors:

    ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable (CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_USB).
    ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable (CONFIG_USB_AUDIO).

    * there were many warning during compilation.

    The list of C warnings that are not about unused variables etc:

    floppy.c: In function `result':
    floppy.c:1168: warning: `status' might be used uninitialized in this function
    old_tulip.c: In function `tulip_probe':
    old_tulip.c:475: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'
    old_tulip.c: In function `select_media':
    old_tulip.c:1542: warning: suggest explicit braces to avoid ambiguous `else'
    make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mroos/compile/22/linux/drivers/net/irda'
    /home/mroos/compile/22/linux/Rules.make:278: target `irport.o' given more than once in the same rule.
    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mroos/compile/22/linux/fs/vfat'
    namei.c: In function `xlate_to_uni':
    namei.c:679: warning: passing arg 1 of pointer to function discards qualifiers from pointer target type

    (there is a lot of unused variable and defined but not used things too but
    these are probably unimportant).

    There are also many assembler warnings. Most talk about using %eax where
    %ax was asked with l suffix. Also some indirect lcalls without *. Proably
    not dangerous.
