It seems your cc install is very screwed, the -lang-c does not appear in any
kernel
Makefile, so I suppose it comes from the cc driver. It looks like it is
calling /usr/bin/cpp for preprocessing (so it does not understand the -lang-c
flag the cc command gives him, because it is only internal, for cpp0),
and it should use the internal cpp0, usually located at
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/2.96/cpp0.
As a suggestion (as you seem not to be using egcs to build kernel) check you
don't have any egcs-xxxx package installed (specially egcs and egcs-cpp). You
seem to be using cooker (at least gcc 2.6). So get the latest gcc-2.96 (gcc,
gcc-cpp). Perhaps you miss the gcc-cpp package, and your gcc-2.96 is trying
to use and old cpp.
And if you want your life to be easier, get the 2.4.0 original sources from
www.kernel.org, and the 2.4.1-pre8 patch, to run a 2.4.1-pre8 kernel. The
advantage (apart from tons of bug fixes and cleanup)
is that reiser is yet integrated in the main kernel tree for the
1-pre series from Linus. Then, you just have to look for a suitable supermount
patch (I don't know where to get supermount 'cause I hate it).
