Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract 2.6.10 source
2. Configure kernel
3. su, then execute "make"
  
Actual results:
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
  CC      arch/i386/kernel/process.o

make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2


Expected results:
a compiled kernel

Additional info:
This worked before I executed a system upgrade with the "software updater"

Comment 1 Hunter Cobbs 2006-07-05 13:45:28 UTC
After some additional investigation, it appears this may be rooted in the
binutils upgrade that was part of the full system update.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2006-07-26 03:34:56 UTC
old kernels frequently don't compile with newer gcc/binutils.
