Hi everybody,
I am trying to compile a 2.0.38 kernel (because the atp870a
driver for the Acard SCSI card is broken after 2.2 and I read claims that
it worked at the time of 2.0 kernels) By the way, comments and info on
this are welcome!
I grabbed the gcc272 package, issued a make xconfig, changed the Makefile
to use gcc 2.72 and then "make bzImage". Compilation fails as follows:
gcc272 -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

(I can post the full log if you need to see it.) Ok, so can anyone guess
what's wrong? What other changes do I need to make except grabbing gcc272?
My standard gcc compiler is gcc2.95, I am thinking of things like glibc
for gcc2.95 not being backward compatible and similar issues... Can anyone
help?
thanks a lot,
matteo
