Hi,

when linking the kernel I get the following error:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-rc4/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o arch/i386/kernel/init_task.o init/main.o init/version.o \

I had no problems compiling 2.4.17. Then I applied patch 2.4.18-rc1 without
error, and the above problem appeared. Then I applied the incremental
patches through -rc4 but the problem remains.

I have all tools in the right versions and did the usual make dep; make
clean; make -j5 bzImage. Any idea? config attached.

Thanks,
hjb
