I'm not sure what you are talking about. No  function  pointers  have
been  added  to  any  version  of  include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h  in  the
linuxppc_2_4_devel tree.

Did you attempt to run "cvs log" on a file, say:

-> cvs log Makefile

RCS file: /cvsroot/linuxppc_2_4_devel/Makefile,v
Working file: Makefile

DENX_2003_10_30_0110 is the latest CVS tag on a 2.4.20 kernel.


All this...

...can be found out with minimal effort using standard CVS commands
...is documented in the CHANGELOG file
...is unrelated to U-Boot and thus off topic on this list



Best regards,
