I successfully compiled the 2.4.31 kernel in Stable, so the kernel
source should be alright.
What the error message is saying is that the assembler source file that
has been generated has errors in it.
What might be happening is that you may be running out of disk
space wherever the temp files are stored - would that be /tmp? You
might try running df to see how your disk space is running - perhaps
even while compiling the kernel.
Did you try using a later version of gcc? The file
Documentation/Changes still states that gcc 2.95 is the preferred
compiler, but I've been using GCC 3.x for some time and all _appears_ to
be fine. I believe I've seen where it's been stated that 3.x compilers
are OK now.
