2.6.3 compilation problem

["Sourav Sen" <souravs@india.hp.com>]

Hi,

While compiling Linux 2.6.3 + ia64 patch for it, using
the following:

[sourav]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.1
[sourav]$ as --version
GNU assembler 2.13.90 20030125
[sourav]$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.12.90 20020604

I get the following error while doing
make vmlinux

------
[...]
 IKCFG   kernel/config_data.h
  CC      kernel/configs.o
  LD      kernel/built-in.o
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
dnsdomainname: Host name lookup failure
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h

drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0x10502): undefined reference to `local

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

TIA
