The short answer is that SuSE use a 3 argument form
of expand_stack, see

* Wed Feb 23 2000 - uli@suse.de
- souped up fb.modes parser so it won't throw up
when parsing the fb.modes file from recent fbset
packages
- bash script "molpatching" now uses "wc" instead
of "stat" which doesn't exist on SuSE Linux
- mmu.c: changed expand_stack() call to new format
(3 args)
Is there any other information about the "new format"?
I find it really hard to believe that nobody using SuSE
PPC has tried to compile this program since February
two years ago. Is there a trick to getting to it to
work?
Do I need to use also a Ben series kernel if I want
my own MOL?
Ben.
