i've just received the GPL Version of Slackware Linux 3.5 and installed it
on my P200MMX. The first thing i tried doing was compiling a new kernel,
however i always get this error message:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/kernel'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2

it happens for _every_ file that gets compiled. At first i thought it was
because i'd messed up the source so i rm'd the /usr/src/linux tree and untarred
it again and followed the info in the README about setting the symlinks but that
made no difference. I've also tried re-installing everything and that didn't
help.
why does this happen and how can i fix it?
