Errors while compiling 2.4.0test5 from BitKeeper

Errors while compiling 2.4.0test5 from BitKeeper

[Jordan]

I have been compiling my own kernels for a while now, lately though the
2.2 series gives me machine check errors and panics every time I start
up no matter which version I compile, so I decided to start trying the
2.4 series.  For about the past two weeks now I have been trying to
figure out how to get the kernel to finish compiling and not gives the
following errors:

ld -T arch/ppc/vmlinux.lds -Ttext 0xc0000000 -Bstatic

I would like to try this kernel to see if I can get it to boot on my
PowerMac G3 Beige Mini-Tower; however, until I can get this thing
figured out it looks like I am stuck.  Thanks for any help.

Include PMU support.

Or make the calls to the PMU stuff dependent on the PMU config option.

That would be the Right Thing, and both harder to do and boring as such
:-)
