problem compiling 2.5.30

Hi, sorry if this popped up before. It is a redhat 7.3 box, gcc 2.96.
this happens when I include devfs into the kernel.

See below: 

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/fs/partitions' 
  gcc -Wp,-MD,./.check.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/include
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
-march=i686 -nostdinc -iwithprefix include    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=check
-DEXPORT_SYMTAB  -c -o check.o check.c 
check.c: In function `devfs_register_partitions': 
check.c:470: array subscript is not an integer 
make[2]: *** [check.o] Error 1 
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/fs/partitions' 
make[1]: *** [partitions] Error 2 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/fs' 
make: *** [fs] Error 2 

Thanks,
