hy

I got an error by compiling a kernel. I tried 2.4.x and 2.6.x, but it's
no difference, because of that I thought it must be a problem with gcc
or glibc and I recompiled them.

that's one try with 2.6.4:
  CLEAN   scripts
  RM  $(CLEAN_FILES)
  HOSTCC  scripts/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/split-include
  HOSTCC  scripts/conmakehash
  HOSTCC  scripts/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/kallsyms
  CC      scripts/empty.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/mk_elfconfig
  MKELF   scripts/elfconfig.h
  HOSTCC  scripts/file2alias.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/modpost.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/sumversion.o
  HOSTLD  scripts/modpost
  HOSTCC  scripts/pnmtologo
  HOSTCC  scripts/bin2c
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
  CC      arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s

There's something wrong with your gcc installation. It has nothing to do
with the kernel compilation perse.

stdarg.h is a part of the headers that are specific to each gcc version.
You'll normally find it somewhere below /usr/lib/gcc-lib.

Perhaps something went wrong during installation of your gcc (a full
disk or so) or you moved some directory trees, causing gcc no longer to
find its include files. Some directories are hardcoded into the gcc
executable during its compilation. If you have to move some things (to
work around full partitions say) use symlinks.

Try reinstalling gcc.
