Hi
  In a project i need to use linux kernel 2.0.x. Currnetly i am using
Redhat 7.2 with gcc-2.96 on Intel celeron. When i build kernel 2.0.x
it gives error. I found out that it needs to be build with
gcc-2.7.2.x. Well i tried to configure it but it gives error:
This appears to be i686-unknown-linux system.
Invalid configuration ...
Can anyone help me to turn around this!
Thanks

Somehow, the configure script was unable to guess what you system is.

Try: "./configure  --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu"

and see if that works.

It gives almost the same error saying machine "i686-pc-linux" not recognised...
