I have since fixed the problem, but it was a crude hack. In
include/asm-alpha/string.h there are several tests like the following:
#if __GNUC__ > 2 || __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 8
[...]
#endif
By removing the test statement and using the commands that are executed if
the test is negative (#else commands), the kernel compiled normally.
Again, I am using gcc 2.8.1. If anyone can figure out why the test must
fail to compile, I would be interesting in knowing.
Thanks,
