Parse errors in 2.1.4

When compiling 2.1.4, I received this slew of errors. I tried both
patching up from 2.0.21, and a native install of the linux-2.1.4 source
tree from Funet.

GCC 2.7.2 is being used, with a system currently running 2.0.21. The
system is a P133 with 32MB RAM. The GCC 2.7.2 being used *is* one I
compiled myself, so I am interested to know whether the GCC distribution
itself is borked and didn't compile correctly. Personally, I don't think
it did.

[Even more errors]

I thought I'd ask here before I go looking for bugs in my GCC, in the off
and exceedingly rare chance that something like this got stuck in the
kernel.
