Check v2.6.26-rc7, I submitted a patch a few days ago and it's already
in. Well, just this hunk.

I'd suggest finding a nice regexp/wildcard to unmask these or to fix
the "vmlinux*" line (likely better). Running 'find . -name vmlinux\*'
shows a few more things that may be prone to exclusion to that rule and
shouldn't.

I already feel bad I didn't fix this more thoroughly when I had the
chance :-). Then again, I stumbled on this while working on another
project and I didn't feel like dwelling on other problems. Go ahead and
save the day :P.


	Cheers,
	Eduard
