Subject: kernel compilation problems

I wanted to try playing around with some patches & software that hasn't
been updated to work in the 2.4.x kernel tree so I am attempting to
compile a 'stock' 2.2.x kernel from the kernel mirror.
I am starting out with rh7.0 with all updates (that I know of anyway).
It comes standard with a RH patched 2.2.16 kernel, definantly non-stock.
I downloaded the stock 2.2.16 kernel source from the aklug mirror and
checked it with gpg and unpacked it into /usr/src.
I ran 'make mrproper', and 'make oldconfig' (choosing only the
defaults).
When I 'make bzlilo' I get all sorts of problems and warnings and finish
up with 1 - error 1 and 2 - error 2's and no kernel.
examples of the messages I get are:
extra tokens at end of #endif directive
extra tokens at end of #undif directive
Warning: using '%eax' instead of '%ax' due to 'l' suffix
warning: parting ...(a bunch of different variables)... does not give a
valid preprocessing token
Warning: indirect lcall without '*'
I probably get each of these 50 times or so.
It seems that a stock kernel should compile fairly easily - maybe not
run, but compile. Is it possible that I am using an incompatable gcc (I
have 2.96-85)?
Any pointers to what I might have going wrong would be appreciated.
Jim
