When I attempt to compile 2.6.11.12 from a full download. I get the
following messages:
include/linux/i2c.h:58: error: array type has incomplete element type
include/linux/i2c.h:197: error: array type has incomplete element type
I think the problem has to do with the forward declartion used in those
lines.
I am using gcc 4.0 on FC4 final

Try an older gcc or a recent gcc snapshot. gcc 4.0 has known issues
when compiling the kernel.

No actually it is due to the use of array notation ([]) instead of
pointer (*).

FWIW, this specific problem is already fixed in 2.6.12-rc6.

gcc 4.0 does not built the 2.6.11.whatever kernel properly. You need to
use the 2.6.12-rc kernel go fix these issues.
thanks,
