Linker Error With Kernel 2.4.4pre6 and GCC 2.95.3 (Debian)

[ruschein]

Here is what I get under a fairly recent Debian woody:

/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.4.4-pre6/lib/lib.a(rwsem.o): In function `__rwsem_do_wake':
rwsem.o(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to `__builtin_expect'
rwsem.o(.text+0x6f): undefined reference to `__builtin_expect'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
bender:/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.4.4-pre6 [root]# gcc --version
2.95.3

I get the same error with Debian stable (2.2-r3)

# gcc --version

The same here (SuSE Linux 7.0, x86 edition):

  steffen@fs01:~ > gcc --version
  2.95.2

I was able to compile and link it successfully after applying Niels'
patch which is available at:

Best regards,
