I need to compile a 2.4.32 version kernel. I make mrproper,make xconfig, make dep, which works fine. Make bzImage gives me the following.
Code:
aaron:/usr/src/linux-2.4.32 # make bzImage
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.32/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -fno-unit-at-a-time -DKBUILD_BASENAME=main -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

Here is my gcc --version output:
Code:
aaron:/usr/src/linux-2.4.32 # gcc --version

I searched and found out that a 3.x version of gcc will solve the problem, because 4.x now enforces the "incomplete element type" thing. I would rather not go about installing an older gcc. Is there a patch that will fix this so it will compile with gcc 4?
