This bug report is also valid if you want to compile the kernel 2.4.18-14 provided in the redhat 8.0 cdrom. But it does not affect the compiling of other softwares.
I test this as well on a system installed in French which did the same error whereas a standard English install didn't.
That's a kernel bug, not gcc's. Following line in linux-2.4.*/Makefile: kbuild_2_4_nostdinc := -nostdinc $(shell $(CC) -print-search-dirs | sed -ne 's/install: \(.*\)/-I \1include/gp') should be changed into: kbuild_2_4_nostdinc := -nostdinc $(shell LC_ALL=C $(CC) -print-search-dirs | sed -ne 's/install: \(.*\)/-I \1include/gp')
You mean a RedHat kernel bug right ? Because no other Linux distribution suffers of the same bug whatsoever (Even changed my default locales to LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" to do a test under Debian sid).
This locale dependancy has been fixed upstream in the base kernel now.
