Alan Cox: Linux 2.4.12-ac3 available

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/. Intermediate diffs are available from http://www.bzimage.org. From Cox: “This tree doesn’t compile for SMP with gcc 3.*. The problem appears to be the P6 safe spin_unlock code. Right now I don’t see why so if you want to build with 3.* you have to figure that out too 8)
