and follow the thread around. The gotcha page says
"This information only applies to pristine source, downloaded from a site
such as kernel.org, as the changes necessary to compile have already been
made to the source from the kernel-source-2.2.16-22.i386.rpm package".
Then i would think that the source to the 2.4 test kernel included with
redhat would also be "modified" to work. Either way, if you read the
Documentation/Changes file in latest 2.4 test kernel, egcs 2.91.66 and gcc
2.95 are the recommended compilers. If you don't believe me, then search
around the kernel archives for more information, or post a message and get
some details. If you have been using gcc 2.96, then your luckly the
resulting kernel worked.
