Greetings,
Upon compiling 2.1.90 I got this error. I am running RedHat 5.0 with and
without all the updates.

System Stats:
Processor: 2x P-200MMX
System Board: Tyan Tomcat IVD
Memory: 2x 32MB 60ns EDO
Video: Matrox Mystique 220
Compiler: 2.7.2.3, 2.8.1, egcs-1.0.1
Libc: 2.0.5c, 2.0.6

Since attepmting to compile 2.1.90 the first time I have experimented with
the above compilers and all have given the exact errors. Also I have
completely reloaded the system, and to no avail.

And now for the error:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__ -traditional
-c head.S -o head.o
/tmp/cca00447.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cca00447.s:1034: Warning: Repeat < 0, .fill ignored

/tmp/cca00447.s:1232: Internal error!
Assertion failure in write_contents at write.c line 1086.
Please report this bug.
make[1]: *** [head.o] Error 1

Thanks,
Mark
