2.6.2 Compile Failure - Redhat 7.3 Distro

[Elikster <elik@webspires.com>]

Hello Folks,

	It seems that the compile of 2.6.2 is sort of hit and miss depending on the configuration among various Redhat 7.3 distros with gcc 2.96 compiler.  The most common miscompile usually shows up when it reaches this point here:

  CC      fs/proc/task_mmu.o
  CC      fs/proc/inode.o
  CC      fs/proc/root.o
  CC      fs/proc/base.o

  CC      fs/proc/array.o

                    ]
                    [
                        (asm_input:DI ("A"))
                    ]  ("include/linux/times.h") 38))

   Any ideas?  I have 2 Redhat 7.3 compiled with no problem and some compiles with errors.  It seems to be sort of hit and miss since they are all identical as far the distro goes, but with various hardware.

   This error is coming up with this hardware specs as shown:
