error compiling linux-2.6.6

[Artemio]

Hello all!

I am trying to compile a clean, non-patched 2.6.6 kernel from right from 
kernel.org, using gcc 3.3.2. I have tried both gcc 3.3.2 in uclibc i386 root 
distribution and gcc 3.3.2-6mdk in mandrake 10.0. With both gcc's, at the end 
of all, I get:

[make output]
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1

: undefined reference to `__kfree_skb'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
[/make output]

Could someone please tell me what to do? :-/

I'd really appreciate any help. 


Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for this report.

FireWire support requires Networking support.

The following patch lets FireWire support automatically select 
Networking support:

Alternatively, the following patch would also solve this issue:

--- linux-2.6.7-rc1-mm1-full/drivers/ieee1394/Kconfig.old	2004-05-29 14:07:55.000000000 +0200

I just patched the kernel up to 2.6.7-rc 1 but got the same error, both on gcc 
3.3.2 and gcc 2.96.

Sorry if my answer was to technical.

Workaround for your problem:

Enable:

  Device Drivers
    Networking support
      Networking support

YES, you are using a very BUGGY gcc version!
Try 2.95.x (x >= 3) or go to 3.x.x.

I'm using GCC 3.3.3 without any problem.

It's an unofficial gcc version, but it's not necessary more buggy than 
other versions of gcc.

And Documentation/Changes in Linux 2.6.6 also tells that your statement
is wrong:

<--  snip  -->

...
The Red Hat gcc 2.96 compiler subtree can also be used to build this tree.
You should ensure you use gcc-2.96-74 or later. gcc-2.96-54 will not build
the kernel correctly.
...

His problem is as far as I can see in no way related to the gcc version 
he's using.

Is it possible to make xconfig and menuconfig show what has an option selected?

It's possible to "Show all options" and several other gui options
in xconfig.  I don't know of similar options in menuconfig.

The xconfig options are useful for debugging where options are
defined, what controls them, etc.
