      Messing about with pl13 and ftape mods, got all up OK, haven't yet
got the tape to show any signs of life .... one day I hope!
      updated to pl13q, had to add #include <sched.h> to calibr.c, also
hand patched the code in drivers subdirectory. Compile runs OK, ld to link
zImage fails, kernel.o reporting undefined symbols referenced from text/data
segment, the references are "jiffies_offset" and "startup_time". sched.h is
included everywhere it is needed. ksyms.s has these symbols listed of course,
but investigations so far seems to point to ksyms.o as cause, I removed
ksyms.o from the makefile and it complained about something else. I have yet
to try removing these symbols from ksyms.s to see what effect there is.
     Hopefully we'll see code all marching in step soon again, it is messy
getting messier.
Any help gratefully received.
