I am running the latest version of woody. I can compile 2.4.0 no problem.
I ran the following:
make xconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=rblack.1.1 kernel_image
My gcc version is 2.95.3... and all the other packages meet or exceed the
necessary versions given in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes
The line that seems to be causing the problem is:
#define PADDING 22 - 3 * sizeof(long) - sizeof(int)+ sizeof(short) */
especially the use of sizeof in the construct:
#define PADDING 22 + sizeof(short) - 3 * sizeof(long) - sizeof(int)
#if PADDING > 0
char _f[PADDING]; /* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */
#endif
#undef PADDING
In 2.4.0, this this was not used...rather the single line:
char _f[20-2*sizeof(long)-sizeof(int)]; /* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */
was used. I am going to try using this line with similar values to the
above...any idea if this will work?
