Re: the result of "make check" on PPC64/FC5

[Wu Zhou <woodzltc at cn dot ibm dot com>]

Oops, I should have mentioned that I am running these tests on kernel 
2.6.15, with Andrea Arcangeli's ptrace patch reversed.

Maybe I should run these tests on FC5 kernel, and reverse Andrea 
Arcangeli's ptrace patch?

Is there much difference between the 2.6.15 kernel of FC5 and the official 
2.6.15 kernel from kernel.org?
