Hi. When I patch my kernel with
savagefb-0.3.2-linux-2.4.26.patch.bz2, everything
seems to be ok.
# bunzip2 -c ../savagefb-0.3.2-linux-2.4.26.patch.bz2
| patch -p1
patching file Documentation/Configure.help
Hunk #1 succeeded at 5180 (offset 67 lines).
patching file drivers/video/Config.in
patching file drivers/video/Makefile
patching file drivers/video/fbmem.c
patching file drivers/video/savagefb.c
patching file drivers/video/savagefb.h
patching file include/linux/fb.h
But when I try to compile it, everything works good up
until the very end where I get
gcc -D__KERNEL__

I am using the kernel from Debian and not the straight
linus kernel, if that matters.
The patch was from http://www.directfb.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/DirectFB/patches/
