Description Prarit Bhargava 2008-06-04 13:00:38 UTC
Description of problem:

Everytime I diff a built tree vs. an unbuilt tree, the gate.lds file appears in
the diff because it isn't in Documentation/dontdiff.

I've submitted this patch upstream 2 or 3 times, and have seen others post the
exact same patch but for some reason it hasn't been accepted upstream.

Don, *PLEASE* take this patch.  Otherwise the RHEL ia64 arch maintainer may end
up crying under his desk ... again.
