(Actually, it's really my adjacent Alpha, but that doesn't have email
configured, and it's 1.4I)
>Description:
You can't compile the 'advansys' driver on alpha; it says
../../../../dev/ic/advlib.c:1321: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
and of course it's correct; we're converting a pointer to int32, which
may not be portable. ;-)
>How-To-Repeat:
Uncomment the Advansys driver and try to build a kernel on alpha.
>Fix:
I don't know.
