Like I said in the other thread I wasn't getting these allmodconfig failures, so if there's an easy way to reproduce them I'd be happy to add it to my setup -- I don't really know anything about GCC plugins, I'm just using Debian's toolchain for my Linux test setup (haven't gotten around to merging it with my GCC test setup, and it's been a decade so I guess I should stop pretending that's going to happen ;)).

Thanks.  I was actaully asking for the randstruct build instructions, 
but Geert already provided those in the other thread.  Given how easy 
the 32-bit boot is now, though, I figured I'd just get it up and 
running.  It's in now.

Thanks!
