Inside the Makefile, I see =================================== HOSTCC =gcc CROSS_COMPILE = CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)cc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH) ===================================== Therefore, the following is not allowed in the system lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 31 23:19 /usr/bin/cc -> ccc ccc is the C compiler from Compaq for Linux for Alpha. What about having the following? CC =$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH) ^^^ instead of cc? Best regards, G.
