I have gcc-4.2.3 installed and I want to compile linux-2.6.9 kernel.
But the readme says to use gcc version 2.95.3, So I installed that particular version.

When I do make bzImage the following is the error

<command-line>: warning: "__GNUC__" redefined
<built-in>: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
<command-line>: warning: "__GNUC_MINOR__" redefined

Any idea?

Thanks,

can you please show your distrubution in the control panel so it appears on the left hand side ....like mine shows as Mandriva....MDV

2) is there a reason why you are trying to install such an old kernel?

3) can you list your steps pls

here are mine but I use Mdv
