You see, it's not only awkward to see something like this but it's
also harder to read / maintain / change (imagine someone would like to
redefine meaning of these numbers -- he would need to compile four
kernels (000, 030, 040, 060) to see if he didn't break something).
I think it is a normal situation to have to recompile any version after making such a change. Furthermore, robust software has a testsuite to automate the regression checks, and good testsuites are easy to run. I agree we currently don't have a testsuite for FreeMiNT, and it is not easy for CPU specific stuff, but with good, flexible emulators, it could be possible.
And also, in this case, it would be a lot more readable to change: r = 0x0000003cL; /* 060 kernel */ by r = 60; /* 060 kernel */ -- Vincent Rivière
