Differences in Windows and Linux builds

[Colin Finck]

Hello,

After the latest Kernel changes, I noticed some differences in ReactOS
builds compiled under Windows (RosBE 0.3.4) and under Linux (BuildBot and my
32-bit Ubuntu system):

- At the boot screen, the version compiled under Windows shows "Service Pack
1" correctly, but the version compiled under Linux shows "Service Pac 1"
- The version compiled under Linux hangs at "Flushing cache" for me, when I
test it under VMware.

Some other users also wrote that they could not run the latest ReactOS
builds under QEMU.
Although, I could not reproduce this problem with r26719, it might be
related to these build differences.

As I don't know, where this problem might originate from, maybe someone else
could look at it.

Regards,

Colin

I see this "Service Pac 1" in ReactOS compiled under Windows with GCC 
4.1.2 (from RosBE).
