by I am ultimately trying to upgrade my 1.2.8 Slackware kernel to 2.0.27,
but in the meantime I'm having all kinds of trouble.
I have upgraded gcc, binutils, the libc binaries, and now I'm working
on the libc src tree. It took me a while to realize that when the
README file says decompress the libc src to my source directory, it
means /usr/lib/src/linux, not /usr/lib/src...
Anyway, the crux of the problem: I decompress the libc src file
(libc-5.4.17.tar.gz) from /usr/src/linux so that there is a new
directory /usr/src/linux/libc. From /usr/src/linux/libc, I run
'configure', then 'make clean', then 'make depend'. All of that works
fine. But when I go to do the final 'make', I get the following error
messages:

Can anyone help? (It seems to me that when gcc calls the assembler
(as), it is passing the assembler an argument (-Qy) that the assembler
doesn't understand.) I'm running gcc 2.7.2.1, and the latest binutils.
Thanks kindly,
