Description of problem:

for_each_task() seems to have vanished from kernel 2.4.20-2.48 (Phoebe
8.0.94). VMware's vmnet modules are pretty upset about that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Freshly installed Red Hat Public Beta (8.0.94) with kernel 2.4.20-2.48.
VMware-workstation-3.2.0-2230.i386.rpm (with locally hacked vmware-
config.pl to make it detect GCC-3.1).

How reproducible:

Install 8.0.94. Install VMware-workstation-3.2.0-2230.i386.rpm (availble
from VMware). Patch vmware-config.pl:

1491a1492,1497
>     if(substr($gcc_version, 0, 3) eq "gcc") {
>       my @dummy;
>
>       @dummy = split(/ /, $gcc_version);
>       $gcc_version=$dummy[2];
>     }

Run vmware-config.pl, let it (try to) build the modules.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Phoebe (8.0.94)
2. Install VMware-workstation-3.2.0-2230.i386.rpm, patch vmware-config.pl
3. Execute vmware-config.pl

Execution aborted.


Expected results:

Compilation of the modules. Works, with aforementioned patch, with Red Hat 8.0.

Additional info:

Changing the result of "gcc --version" between 2.9x and 3.0 was a BAD idea.
