Hi folks. For some reason, my debian box is suddenly refusing to compile a 2.4.2 kernel. A "make bzImage" bails out with: make[1]: Entering directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' gcc -E -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__BIG_KERNEL__ -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s as -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s bbootsect.s: Assembler messages: bbootsect.s:253: Warning: indirect lcall without *' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x0 -s -oformat binary bbootsect.o -o bbootsect ld: cannot open binary: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [bbootsect] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot' make: *** [bzImage] Error 2 Seems ld is trying to open a file called binary, and can't, and I'm completely stumped. The system is running a 2.4.2 kernel I compiled fairly recently, but there have been a couple of updates in that time. I'm using gcc-2.95, which isn't recommended, but the documentation doesn't mention what problems there might be or how to get around them. 2.2 kernels compile fine. Any ideas?
