Linux Kernel 2.6.31-rc4 released - bug fixes

The fourth release candidate for the .31 Kernel is now out; it fixes a few bugs discovered within the last week (binutils, ccache, compiler) which were outside the Kernel but resulted in a broke build, Linus Torvalds announced. Along with those more important bugs there were a few small fixes here and there, dominated by a couple of network drivers. You may read the full announcement by Linus here.

I haven’t built the Kernel in a while; being on Ubuntu Karmic means getting all the new stuff already compiled by the MOTUs the next day. I may build this one just for kicks. Or I may start on the little project I was thinking about; removing everything I don’t need in the Kernel. Wish I had the nice machines Linus has (he rebuilds his kernel in 16 seconds).

Happy compiling all!
