| Hi there;
| 
| I've noticed that Luke is churning a bunch of the kernel with
| __KERNEL_RCSID changes, which are apparently not causing enough
| trouble to make any of the branch owners complain.
| 
| I'm therefore going to assume (unless someone can explain why the
| __FUNCTION__ change is significantly different) that we can trust in
| CVS to merge the changes properly and there isn't really a good reason
| not to fix the non-ANSI __FUNCTION__ stuff on the head. I'll also do a
| second pass to get rid of __attribute__ stuff that isn't hidden
| beneath the pre-defined header file wrappers. The net of both of these
| will be to make using alternative compilers (like pcc) work a lot
| better, which is the central motivation here.
| 
| Comments?

My personal opinion and not core/board whatever is fine. Since luke made
changes too, the tree has already been disrupted enough.
