not yet a great number, but please add one more;

no way to compile 2.4.17 with 2.95/3.0: a lot of "undefined reference
to ..." with O0 and all this with O2 (long lines wrapped):

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/block'

Obviously, running like a charm with:

Linux x.x.x 2.2.19 #5 Wed Feb 16 20:13:38 CET 2002 alpha unknown
