slackware-current + kernel 2.6.17.7
 

Getting the following error when building the new kernel. i searched somewhere that the error means broken gcc. anyone successful in building the latest kernel?

CC mm/vmalloc.o

[solved] slackware-current + kernel 2.6.17.7
 

turns out my glibc packages weren't updated to -current. once updated, recompiled kernel and all went well.
