It checks all installed perl modules and remerges any that rely on |
| 8 |
previous perl versions. Safe to run as root. |

I just added "-regparm" to "EXTRAVERSION" in the kernel source |
| 14 |
Makefile to remind me that I had set CONFIG_REGPARM=y (Processor |
| 15 |
type and features): |

Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3. This uses an different ABI and |
| 20 |
passes the first three arguments of a function call in registers. |
| 21 |
This will probably break binary only modules. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This feature is only enabled for gcc-3.0 and later - earlier |
| 24 |
compilers generate incorrect output with certain kernel constructs |
| 25 |
when-mregparm=3 is used." |
