[that looks *very* familiar]
I never tried 2.1.127pre2 as I missed the patch posted to the list and
couldn't find it on linux.kernel.org at the weekend. Compiling
2.1.127pre3 fails exactly as described.
> gcc version 2.7.2.3
Mine's still plain old 2.7.2, I was intending to upgrade to see if it
solved the problem, but perhaps not. This box is an i486, so obviously
I normally run with SMP commented out of my makefile...

Yes, if I build an SMP kernel the compile continues past the point of
failure. Whether it will complete building and actually run sensibly on
this machine is nother thing entirely. I'll know tomorrow, off to bed
now!

I was planning to play "spot the change" if I got hold of pre2, so
thanks for that. I really don't know enough to be able to nail the
problem, but perhaps knowing that it isn't specific to any particular
CPU or gcc version is helpful in eliminating some possibilities? I'm
happy to forward any other details if needed.
