Hi allFirst, let me say that I don't know the answer to how to fix your compile, but I do have a couple of things for you. First the -wall in your make file will cause all errors AND warnings to stop the process. If you don't want warnings to stop the compile, remove the -wall.
I need to build my own kernel so that I can use my satellite card for internet connection. The driver is compiled with gcc-2.96 and requires the kernel to be compiled with the same. No problem in 9.1 but having just installed 9.2, the "make dep" gives an error:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk/scripts/mkdep -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -- acpi.c acpitable.c acpitable.h acpi_wakeup.S apic.c apm.c bluesmoke.c cpuid.c dmi_scan.c e820.c elanfreq.c entry.S gx-suspmod.c head.S i386_ksyms.c i387.c i8259.c init_task.c io_apic.c ioport.c irq.c ldt.c longhaul.c longrun.c mca.c microcode.c mpparse.c msr.c mtrr.c nmi.c p4-clockmod.c pci-dma.c pci-i386.c pci-i386.h pci-irq.c pci-pc.c pci-visws.c powernow-k6.c powernow-k7.c powernow-k7.h process.c ptrace.c semaphore.c setup.c signal.c smpboot.c smp.c speedstep-centrino.c speedstep-ich.c sys_i386.c time.c trampoline.S traps.c visws_apic.c vm86.c

make[2]: *** [fastdep] Error 139 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk/arch/i386/kernel' make[1]: *** [_sfdep_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-10mdk' make: *** [dep-files] Error 2
Does anyone know how to get past this error? I'm using the config from the current Mandrake kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.
Any help much appreciated.

Second and more important, have you tried just compiling the drivers as a module and using insmod to use them? If you do compile them as a module, you will get an error about the kernel being compiled with 3.x and the module with 2.96, but it may still work if you use insmod -f mymodule (the -f says to force the module). On the otherhand, it may not work. On one of my boxes with a winmodem, the driver must be inserted with the -f because it, too, has an object file that was compiled with gcc 2.96, even though I am using gcc 3.3.
Don't know if either of the two items will help or not, but you might try them.
