Leonard,
Thanks for the reply.
I have been compiling kernels even before RedHat was a company (way back
even before kernel 1.0 was out). Now all of a sudden I cannot compile ANY
kernels (neither pristine kernels nor 2.2/2.4 RPM kernels) :-(
After some poking around, I realised that gcc 2.96 was the defualt
compiler on RH7, and they also boundle egcs (as kgcc) for compiling
kernels. So I edited the Makefile to use kgcc instead of gcc; but to no
avail:-(
I remember that I changed it only in one place in the Makefile. I just
read another email on the list saying that there are two instances of gcc
in the Makefile that need to be changed to kgcc. I'll give it a shot
tonight.
