Btw,  the UML kernel Changes file states the following requirements:

o  Gnu C                  3.2                     # gcc --version
o  Gnu make               3.79.1                  # make --version
o  binutils               2.12                    # ld -v

and I am using the following versions:

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-50)
GNU Make 3.80
GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-14.el5 20061020
