I've been getting these messages all over the place while compiling recent
kernels. Is there something I've missed?

and on and on and on.. in loads of files. I think it all started when the
ppp stuff changed into several parts. The kernels link and run
just fine, but I haven't tested any ppp yet...

As far as I can remember I haven't seen any comments on this. Hope this is
of interest to somebody.

Please no replies to me, I subscribe to the list.
