Hello Roman,

I have difficulties with configuring the kernel with "make xconfig":

  g++ -Wp,-MD,scripts/kconfig/.qconf.o.d -O2 -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -c -o
scripts/kconfig/qconf.o scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc: In destructor `virtual ConfigItem::~ConfigItem()':
scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc:291: error: non-lvalue in unary `&'
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf.o] Fehler 1
make: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Fehler 2

After changing the offending line, it did compile and I was able to configure
the kernel. However, I am not really sure, whether this change is correct:

--- scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc~ 2003-03-17 22:43:38.000000000 +0100
+++ scripts/kconfig/qconf.cc 2003-04-29 11:07:57.000000000 +0200

                for (; *ip; ip = &(*ip)->nextItem) {
                        if (*ip == this) {
                                *ip = nextItem;

My environment is SuSE Linux 8.2 and GCC 3.3
