Hi, the attached gnumach patch allows to specify a custom suffix for the gnumach version string. This can be useful to distinguish different kernels, for example. (A much simplier version of this patch has been developed by Samuel Thibault, and it's part of the Debian package for a couple of months.)
Thanks, -- Pino Toscano
