FWIW, I got precisely this same error yesterday afternoon, trying to compile for a MS7308E. This was on a fresh and unpatched install of RH 7.3, with 2.4.19 freshly unpacked and linuxbios pulled out of CVS in mid-afternoon US/Eastern. I got to that point just as I was leaving for the day, I was

ron, Oh geez. I don't do a lot of compiling on this system (it has redhat 8.0 with all the defaults) so I never realized it had gcc 3.2. Yes, I realize it breaks stuff, I just didn't check for that. Thanks. P.S. Haven't compiled yet, but I'm sure going to a stable gcc will work. - James Alton -

Stefan, Every linux kernel out that I know of is not gcc 3.2 safe. Which means it will not work. It's a linux kernel problem, not a linux bios problem. I just didn't check my version when I did the build. *Do not use gcc 3.2 and try to compile a linux kernel* 99.999% chance it will not work. -
