[Linux-ia64] Compiling kernel 2.4.21 on HP zx6000

[Linux-ia64] Compiling kernel 2.4.21 on HP zx6000

[ia64]

Dear Colleagues,

	Has anybody ever succeeded in compiling kernel 2.4.21 over HP zx6000
workstations, running RedHat AW 2.1? The following error messages just poped
out, as attached in the end of this mail.

	The gcc version is 3.1 downloaded from HP's support site. Is there
any prerequisite prior to compilation of the 2.4.21 kernel? Also, is the 
2.96 series gcc enclosed in the original RedHat release capable of compiling
kernels? Thank you very much for your help.

No.  You can't build an ia64 kernel from the unmodified 2.4.21 source.
You have to first apply the ia64 patch (which I haven't released yet).
