Linux 2.2.17 can't compile and it only happens in Redhat 7, worked fine in 
Redhat 6.2. The following is the error output.

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/arch/i386/lib'

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-11-25 03:26:21 EST 
2.2 kernels cannot be compiled by 2.96 compiler (due to kernel
issues, there are patches floating around to make it compile), there
is a kgcc compiler in the distribution which should be used instead.
If you compile 2.2.18pre and above, it should pick it up automatically,
otherwise you should specify it on kernel command line.
make CC='kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)'
The failure above is caused by using GCC extensions in traditional
preprocessor (where they are purposedly not implemented after
split of preprocessors), so in this case removing of -traditional
fixes it.
