PATCH 1/1 IA32 support without sysctl doesn't work

If you try to compile with CONFIG_IA32 on and CONFIG_SYSCTL off, then you get an undefined reference to do_sysctl() on final link.

I believe that if sysctl is turned off, it should be off for IA32 processes as well as for IA64 processes. Here's a patch:

Agreed.

Peter> Here's a patch:

The ia32 subsystem should mirror what's done in kernel/sysctl.c: when CONFIG_SYSCTL isn't defined, there should be a dummy sys32_sysctl(). That way, the number of #ifdefs is localized to one file.

I applied the following patch to 2.4:

I did the same for 2.5.
