Actually, my recommendation is to:
A) download kernel 2.4.1...the compile and installation went much
smoother for me than did the 2.4.0 kernel compile/installation.
B) Make sure you change the references in your Makefile from gcc to
kgcc. While I did get 2.4.1 compiled with gcc-2.96-69, I am also
compiling it with kgcc (gcc-2.9.5-something), just in case.
