Description

When I try to invoke ldv-git for linux-2.6.37.y (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.37.y.git) with command 'ldv-git --force --rule=08_1 --filter=isdn/capi/capidrv check' the compilation wasn't completed:

Yes, failure of compilation was intentionally not considered a critical error, as it allows to check a fraction of the drivers intended. Besides, due to memory-related errors (see bug #415) it was sometimes even necessary.

We could reconsider this policy to a more strict one, and leave the current, more tolerant mode available as a command-line option.

Noticed this bug... Yet another issue with 2.6.37 kernel compilation. I think we should just declare that we do not support this particular version, as it's too buggy...
