I am trying to compile the linux kernel 2.1.42 and get this error
message.
I have gcc 2.7.0
I got the newest version of binutils.

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux.2.1.42/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486

/usr/src/Documentation/Changes says you need gcc-2.7.2.1.

Quote:> -D__SMP__

Unless you have a MP machine, best to comment out this line.
*** /usr/src/Documentation is the place to look, a wealth of information
there, if compiling new kernels always check the Changes file as it can
save you time and frustration.
