I try to compile a 2.6.10 kernel but it stops with an error
in bootsplash.c. I have everything set in my .config file in /usr/src/linux for bootsplash support. 

Anybody an idea. Where should i start to look? I am a newbie in kernel world

I googled some more and seem to have found the reason of the error:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-02/msg00053.html

It is related to gcc 4.0 which indeed i did an apt-get update for.

But is there a patch avail for my 2.6.10 kernel-source?

This is in a vendor kernel, right?
So please take it up with that vendor.

Kernels from kernel.org don't contain drivers/video/bootsplash/*

"some patches" could be anything.  Please don't waste our time with bug
reports for randomly patched kernels.

The problem resides in the "some patches" then - as Randy said,
 bootsplash.c isn't in kernel.org kernels.
