I've recently installed RedHat 8.0, and I've yet to be able to compile a new kernel (generic kernel straight from kernel.org). This kernel compiled just fine under RedHat 7.3 with the same config (which I can post if necessary). The error occurs during the 'make modules' bit, and I am thus far concerned that it's related to gcc 3.1. Is this a known issue? Has anybody else had success in compiling a new kernel?
