Bug#317637: kernel-source-2.4.27: kernel compile fails :-(

2005-07-10 Thread George B. 
Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

I have just tried recompiling the kernel, to catch up with some security 
issues, but the compile fails. I am using:
---
make-kpkg --append-to-version=.20050710 --revision=10 kernel_image 
modules
---

The bit with the error in it is (I think):
---

Hi,

It looks a lot like you are trying to build this kernel with gcc-4.0.
This will not work. Please use gcc-3.2.

Also, if you think there are outstanding security issues with this
kernel, pleaese file bugs against kernel-source-2.4.27, and include
any references to CAN numbers, mailing list discusions and best of
all patches, that you have.

Thanks

Perhaps a dependency/conflict entry needs to be assigned to the
package, because it broke after a standard package upgrade. I will
resubmit a new bug for that.

Oops, I think you misunderstood. It's just that I am running an older
version of 2.4.27 kernel that has security issues (which is why I was
upgrading.) ;-)


HTH,
