Date:	Fri, 18 Aug 2000 07:09:25 -0700

This patch only contains install and compile fixes to modutils, no
change to modutils functionality.  Don't bother with this release
unless you have install or compile problems.

Fastest download from kernel.org.

Changelog extract

	* Fix spelling and typos in man pages.
	* Add maintainer entry.
	* spec file changes, newer rpm automatically gzips man pages.
	  Horst von Brand.
	* Do not install kdstat and kerneld manual pages unless kerneld is
	  compiled.  Noticed by Debian.
	* config.c needs explicit include of <stdarg.h> on older libc.c.
	  Noticed by everybody :(.
	* Ensure that sbindir exists before install binaries.  Noticed by
	  Wolfgang Weisselberg.
	* Sparc 32/64 fixes, Horst von Brand, Jakub Jelinek.
	* Set the default value of use-syscall based on a config check for the
	  presence of query_module() in libc.  Requested by Richard Gooch.
	* Add a config option for the default value of root-check.  insmod -r is
	  now a toggle.  Requested by Richard Gooch.
	* Replace install -d with mkdir -p.  install -d has an undocumented
	  feature, it silently changes directory permissions to 755 even if the
	  directory already exists!
	* MIPS ELF patch by Maciej W. Rozycki.
