Why on earth start way back there?
I plead ignorance! :-)
(At least, that's part of the answer...)
Debian, at least, is freely available, and Sarge is at 2.4.27 to
start with.
From there it's nontrivial, but relatively easy anyway, to upgrade
to a 2.6 series kernel.
I wasn't aware that Debian for the mainframe was free; I'm looking at
their web site right now. That might well be the way to go.
A small part of my reason for starting with Marist and working forward,
though, was for the learning experience. I'm not under any serious time
pressures on this project, so it looked like a chance to get my hands
dirty with a little more of the system architecture than I might get
working with a more conventional distribution.
(I just noticed that the hack suggested by Dr. Weigand seems to be
working; my compiler build is now past the "genmodes" error that I
reported in my original post.)
Again, thanks for the pointer to Debian; that may well be the path I
decide to take!
