Hello All: It seems 'asm-generic' dislikes 'mad users' (e.g allmodconfig, randconfig, and me). I guess the main reason is: 'asm-generic' thinks what mad users talk about is useless in real world, so it is just noisy. I can understand, at least what I talk about is not for urgent things. (maybe 'asm-generic' also thinks it not important either, every members have their own opinions). Next, I still use allmodconfig/randconfig for some architectures which I am interested in (and also for learning compilers), but I will skip all things which are related with 'asm-generic', since it dislikes me (a mad user). At last, I make an apologize to 'asm-generic' for my mad discussing. Bye !!
