[PATCH 1/3] UML - Fix string exporting on UML/i386

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Mon Jul 23 2007 - 15:33:31 EST


In 2.6.23-rc1, i386 fiddled its string support such that UML started
getting undefined references from modules. The UML asm/string.h was
including the i386 string.h, which defined __HAVE_ARCH_STR*, but the
corresponding implementations weren't being pulled in.

This is fixed by adding arch/i386/lib/string.h to the list of host
architecture files to be pulled in to UML.

A complication is that the libc exports file assumed that the generic
strlen and strstr weren't in use (i.e. __HAVE_ARCH_STR is defined),
then they aren't exported. This is untrue for strlen, which is
exported in either case, so this logic is not needed.
