Hello, I need to compile the old kernel 2.0.36 on a Potato machine (gcc 2.95.2-14). I know that gcc versions 2.8 and up won't compile these old kernels unless a patch is applied to them.
I patched the 2.0.36 kernel with the patch file found at http://www.suse.de/~florian/kernel+egcs.html but still I get a lot of compilation errors similar to the following one: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/include/asm/string.h:118: Invalid `asm' statement: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.36/include/asm/string.h:118: fixed or forbidden register 4 (si) was spilled for class SIREG. Any suggestions? Thank you, -- Pedro
