    Hello all,

    Tonight I installed patch-2.6.5.gz to a 2.6.4 build tree - patch file
    from:

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

    and whilst building, GCC exited with Error 1 in:

    include/linux/module.h: Line 53

    const struct exception_table_entry *

    I couldn't see anything wrong (as if _I_ would know anyway ;) ), but
    guessed a bit, so removed the white space and re-added it, plus
    newlined it at the end, all in nano, and then the build all worked
    OK.

    Looks like a strange char is added somewhere in that patch (or patch
    tool adds it?).

    Regards,

    Nick
