forgot to mention:
The new thing with the 2.1.x tree is that the kernel no longer uses the
x86 segmentation to access user mode, but instead the kernel segment
covers the whole 4GB virtual address space, and thus accesses to user
memory can be made faster.
Linux 2.1.x will only compile as ELF only! You can still have a.out
support in the kernel, but the kernel itself must be capable of compiling
ELF code. You may need to upgrade your GCC compiler to v2.7.2 if you do
not currently have ELF support.
