I had a couple of problems compiling kernel 2.4.19 with gcc 3.3. It appears that gcc's error checking was bumped up a bit and now 2.4.19 has some syntax errors in it. If you know C you can fix them --- IIRC there are two of them. They're both pretty simple. Otherwise get kernel version 2.4.21 from www.kernel.org and use that one. Or use the 2.4.20 you have. hmm, why do you need 2.4.19?
