See posts to the linux kernel mailing list for details. I'd suggest you file a bug report, though I don't know whether or not you'll get a response. -- Karsten M.

Re: kernel 2.2.12
I just upgraded a potato system to 2.2.12 due to the 2.2.11 memory leak. The release notes say that the .12 kernel won't compile with gcc 2.95. I have gcc 2.91.66-2 on that system and it compiled ok, a few warnings but no errors. System came up with no problem and no memory leak.

System came up with no problem and no memory leak. I have the latest unstable system, with gcc 2.95.1-0pre2. Kernel 2.2.12 compiled fine and I have been using if for a couple of days now. I must admit, I went away and did something else while it was compiling so maybe it did throw up some errors. It works OK, so what the heck! -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)

I had that same error message (PAGE_OFFSET_RAW' undeclared). I had copied my .config from a 2.2.10 kernel source, used 'make xconfig' and compiling failed. I then tried 'make oldconfig' and it asked me: Maximum Physical Memory (1GB, 2GB) [1GB] (NEW) Obviously, 'make xconfig' fails to set this parameter. Or is use of 'make oldconfig' mandatory, when using an old .config?
