Hello:

I couldn't get the latest ac kernels to compile on a SUN sparc Ultra 10,
even using the default configuration (arch/sparc64/defconfig).

I didn't try yet to compile a older kernel.  Here is the error message I get:

I am using Debian unstable on that computer.

same problem here
2.4.19-ac2 compiles ok
when applying the ac patches is fails on the ide.h

sun ultrasparc 10
redhat 6.2 (lot of updates)
gcc version :

egcs is not a recommended compiler for the -ac tree. I don't however think
that is the problem. You need some pending patches from DaveM and possibly
also some other further fixes.

I'm afraid sparc is right at the bottom of the platforms I care about
