Thanks for the reply ... actually, I just found what to do.
Quoted from an earlier post by Jason Costomiris
To get my kernel compile (2.2.17) to use it, I had to change line 25 of the
top-level Makefile in the kernel source tree. Change "cc" to "kgcc", so it
looks like this:
CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
Thanks Jason ... :-)

Edit the makefile in the /usr/src/linux directory, and change every 'gcc' to
'kgcc' . Hope that helps.

Subject: Compiling 2.2.17 on RH7
Anyone having problems accomplishing this? I've compiled 2.2.17 on RH 6.2
systems with no problems.
make dep seems to go ok, but make bzImage or make zImage fails.
The error I'm getting is:
<snip>
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__
-traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o
checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2
</snip>
I've visually inspected the lines in question and compared them against the
2.2.17 source on another system that I successfully compiled it on.
I have tried with kernel config defaults and the changes I typically make to
compile in networking, scsi drivers and some masq stuff.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
Charles
