Description etaflin 2001-03-17 00:18:11 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)


I have the same RH7.0 installation on a recent DELL Workstation PIII 800,
128M 
and on a old DELL Dimension PII 300, 64M
All kernels with config files in  /usr/src/linux compile on PIII
However no one of them compiles on the PII
where errors as follows are reported:

cdrom.c:422:75: warning: pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
cdrom.c:480:88: warning: pasting would not give a valid preprocessing token
etc
etc

/usr/src/linux/include/linux/sunrpc/debug.h:53:57: warning: nothing can be
pasted after this token
{standard input}:1299: Warning: indirect lcall without `*'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.compile with PIII
2.compile with PII
3.
	

Actual Results:  same problem

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-03-17 00:25:11 UTC

There are 2 things you must do:
1) Use kgcc to compile the 2.2 kernels, it's there because the 2.2 kernel
   makes some (invalid) assumptions about the compiler, and the default
   "gcc" compiler is newer and doesn't grant all the assumptions
2) Run up2date to update your gcc anyway; there was a bug in the gcc that
   originally shipped in Red Hat 7.0
