Kernel help

[chex]

    I am trying to install (not patch ) the linux 2.0 36 kernel on my
slackware 3.5 box.
I was receiving a nag during make zImage of gcc 2.88 would not work and
installed gcc 2.7.2.** .
I now get a  error 2 with the output of UIO_MAXIOV  being the bad guy .
Any help would be appreciated.
