Dan;

  Thanks for the tip.  I'm not real up on diff -Naur, and the proper way
to make changes :-(  I think I found out that the difference is that
line 500 in linux-2.4.26/Makefile should be 493 in
linux-2.4.21/Makefile.  I hope that it works correctly.  How do you
"efficiently* and correctly port a patch this simple? :-)

  What I did was the following:

in a new directory:
tar xvjf linux-2.4.21.tar.bz2
mv linux-2.4.21 linux-2.4.21a
tar xvjf linux-2.4.21.tar.bz2
modify the linux-2.4.21/Makefile "find" line
diff -Naur linux-2.4.21/Makefile linux-2.4.21a/Makefile > bozo


tar xvzf crosstool-0.27-r36
mv crosstool-0.27-r36 crosstool-0.27-r36a
tar xvzf crosstool-0.27-r36
mv crosstool-0.27-r36 crosstool-0.27-r36b
cd crosstool-0.28-rc36b/patches
cp bozo \
crosstool-0.28-rc36b/patches/linux-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21-mkdep-xargs.patch
diff -Naur crosstool-0.28-rc36a crosstool-0.28-rc36b


Certainly there must be a more efficient way than this to port a simple
kernel patch :-)


I'm also a wee-bit puzzled.  Why wouldn't such an obvious fix be
successfully submitted to the kernel folks to be a permanent fix? 
Certainly this is more "correct" :-)

Thanks,
Ken
