2.4.21 not compiling

[SYNeR]

Hi all,   I'm currently running Debian sarge with:     [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-show-versions | grep gcc gcc-3.3/testing uptodate 1:3.3-2 gcc-2.95/testing uptodate 1:2.95.4-17 gcc-3.3-base 1:3.3-3 newer than version in archive gcc/testing uptodate 3:3.3-1 libgcc1 1:3.3-3 newer than version in archive [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$   showing I have gcc3.3 and gcc2.95 installed.   I patched my 2.4.20 kernel source tree (/usr/src/linux, or /usr/src/linux-2.4.20) with the 2.4.21 patch by issuing:   gunzip -c | patch -p0   I also did mv linux-2.4.20 linux 2.4.21 , and pointed the symlink linux to the now-renamed linux-2.4.21..   After make menuconfig, I was aware of the problems gcc3.3 was having compiling newer 2.4.x kernels. So, in /usr/src/linux/Makefile, i replaced the 2 instances of gcc with gcc-2.95 .. next i proceeded to do: make dep && make clean && make && make install && make modules && make modules_install && depmod -a   Although, I kept getting all these warnings such as:   /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include/linux/modules/ide-iops.ver:39: warning: `__ver_eighty_ninty_three' redefined /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/include/linux/modules/ide-features.ver:9: warning: this is the locations of the previous definition   + many other similar warnings..   After I let this compile run, I checked / , and saw that the kernel had not in fact been updated like it was supposed to (before, it installed it to / for me, then pointed the vmlinuz to the new kernel, and vmlinuz.old to the old kernel all automatically)... ' What am I missing here?   Thanks a heap.
