Actually, I've been having a problem compiling the kernel ever since test7
(test6 compiled fine for me). The errors I see include both segfaults
(which I thought might be memory related, but alas no), and the
folling "parse" error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another parse error happens when I try to continue on by re-exec'ing
'make bzImage'...

They don't seem related, but I could find no hidden characters in the
header files and could find no syntax errors at first and second
glance.
I downloaded linux-2.4.0-test8.tar.gz and ..tar.gz.sign earlier this
morning and verified the tarball with the signature (success).
I'm a bit baffled. I've rarely had problems compiling a kernel, but
this is one I can't get past. I'm using Debian's woody dist with gcc
2.95.2-14.
On a whim, before I sent this email off, I tried to compile the kernel w/o optimization (I deleted -O2 from Makefile). This is the error I ran in to:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8/include -g -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=k6 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-omit-frame-pointer -c -o sched.o sched.c
sched.c: In function `schedule':
sched.c:649: Invalid `asm' statement:

make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.0-test8/kernel'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Might this have something to do with it?
