sched.h problem in 2.4.x and new gcc compilers

Hello, there is a little problem with some headers and new glibs and compilers. Kernel fails to compile and worst is the extern declaration in sched.h

Don't if this is a gcc or glib problem (surely gcc) but doesn't works...

The patch is only redeclaring xtime in extern:

*************************** cut here ******************************

 extern unsigned long volatile jiffies;
 extern unsigned long itimer_ticks;
 extern unsigned long itimer_next;
-extern volatile struct timeval xtime __attribute__ ((aligned (16)));
+extern struct timeval xtime;
 extern void do_timer(struct pt_regs *);
 
 extern unsigned int * prof_buffer;

***************************** cut here ******************************

I made it with the copy that joe editor does, you know the change is:

-extern volatile struct timeval xtime __attribute__ ((aligned (16))); +extern struct timeval xtime;

There are other problems with multiline string literals all over the code
but this is only a warning... One is this...

/mnt/hd2/src/linux-2.4.5/include/asm/checksum.h:72:30: warning:
multi-line string literals are deprecated

Hope it helps. It's a ridiculous patch but now it's fixed.

Thanks
