Re: [expert] Problems with 2.4.0 and the reiserfs and supermount patches (and the mdk rpm)

Well, I did as you said and removed all egcs stuff from my system:
<snap>
egcs-g77-1.1.2-40mdk
egcs-1.1.2-40mdk
egcs-objc-1.1.2-40mdk
egcs-c++-1.1.2-40mdk
egcs-libstdc++-1.1.2-40mdk
egcs-objc-devel-1.1.2-40mdk
</snap>

I checked the gcc, but all the packages seems to be from the same period:
<snap>
gcc-cpp-2.96-0.33mdk
gcc-g77-2.96-0.33mdk
gcc-2.96-0.33mdk
gcc-objc-2.96-0.33mdk
gcc-java-2.96-0.33mdk
gcc-c++-2.96-0.33mdk
</snap>

So I removed the egcs stuff, removed the /usr/src/linux-2.4.0/ dir, 
reinstalled the kernel-sources rpm, enter the 2.4.0 src dir and started from 
the beginning, but it still errors on:

Any clue?

The problem is that the 2.4.1-pre7&8 kernels still needs to be patched with 
reiserfs-utils to get it working.  I've tried compiling them, but got errors 
there too....  :(
