Since 2.1.71: - Handling of local symbols revamped, so that ld -r objects work properly when they have "conflicting" symbols. - Modules may have .*.init sections which are freed after init_module runs. Note that the module must have _very_ large initial data for this to have any effect at all. Modules with large firmware blocks to download are good candidates though. - Aliases are now matched through globbing (for devfs), and aliases of aliases resolve properly. Since 2.1.55: - Build process now uses an autoconf-generated configure script. - New program modinfo to display information embedded in the object files of 2.1.x-style modules (by Tom Dyas, still in development). - Recognize quoted parameter strings for 2.0.x modules. - Kerneld zombie bug fixed.
