Bug 127123

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel--2.4.21-4.EL

How reproducible:

I tried to recompile the original redhat kernel with the original
sources on the RS_WS3 PC. The problem is, that the kernel compilation
aborts.
I do the compilation via the following steps:

1. I solved the original .config file into a temporary directory
2. I changed to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-4.EL/
3. I do a "make disclean + mrproper" to clean up the sources
4. I copied the file configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686.config to .config
5. "make xconfig" and after that I exit the gui immediately. This was
only to provide the foundations for the next step
6. "make dep", "make clean" -- no problem until here
7. During a "make bzImage" the compilation aborts. Here ist the output
of the last few lines:

I thinked, that the problem cames from a disabled cryptographic
algorithm within the .config file. So I cleaned up the kernel sources
again,
and try to enable it using the "make xconfig" - step. But if I choose
"cryptograhic options" within the configuration gui, all entries are
outgreyed.

If I use the .config - file within a fresh kernel source package
(www.kernel.org), this is not the case. So how is it possible to
recompile the kernel ?
I want to try out, if we have the same problems as described in my
last email, using a recompiled kernel with complete original Redhat Kernel
Sources.
