cannot compile kernel

cannot compile kernel

[R. van Dijk]

Hello,

since kernel-version 2.4.1 I am not able to compile the kernel for my 
system (currently I run version 2.4.0). This is in my point of view due 
to a not included function but since i do not know if this is correct I 
send the output of the linking part of the kernel:

-- start output --

compiling of the needed .o files did not give any errors.
