Description of problem:
I can't recompile the kernel sources 2.4.x for tar downloaded at www.kernel.org.

The first compilation is good, anche kernel works, but if I try to recompile the
kernel I got these messages:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686   -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

I read on kernel mailing list that is a problem of gcc distibuited by Red Hat...

This are rpms installed on my pc:

gcc-2.96-98
glibc-common-2.2.4-19.3
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16
compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.16
compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16

I update my system regularry with up2date.

P.S. I try make clean && make dep && make bzImage or make oldconf && make
menuconfig && make ecc ecc.... 


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compile kernel source 2.4.x from www.kernel.org
2.Try to recompile the kernel
3.

Expected Results:  Recompilation of kernel...

Additional info:
Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-01-30 16:13:46 UTC 
Looks like you forgot "make mrproper" between changing config files...
kernel.org kernels need that for some changes. (Note: make mrproper erases your
.config file so be sure to make a backup somewhere)
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-01-31 12:54:05 UTC 
I try make mrproper... and the kernel does't recompile:

1) I execute make mrproper
2) I execute make menuconfig and load configuration file (or default configuration)
3) I execute make dep and make bzImage, or make clean, make dep, make bzImage,
but at first gcc action of make bzImage the compilation fails...
