Re: [PATCH] Ansi-C compatibility fixes

Hi, 

I tried building the current git snapshot. It builds fine (tested on
Slackware 14.0rc2) and the image runs nicely in Qemu 1.1.1.

But there is a small problem in elks/arch/i86/Makefile. Newline (\n)
is not parsed by echo and it gets in asm-offsets.h (ie: \n#endif instead
of #endif).
