I am using the testing version of debian; I have been using this for a while, but I think gcc may have upgraded recently; it is 2.95.4. I am suddenly unable to compile kernels. When I do "make bzImage" I get

directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.16' make: *** [dep-files] Error 2 I did a search on google, and found several instances of this kind of code, but not a definite explanation of it; there seemed to be the possibility of it being a gcc bug. I tried this with kernels I had compiled successfully two weeks ago and got the same results. I'm also noticing something about "fastdep" when I do "make dep" that I hadn't noticed in the past, but maybe I just hadn't looked closely when everything seemed to be compiling ok. HELP, PLEASE!!!
