Compilation problem 2.4.14

[a_vogt@gaia.de (Andreas Vogt)]

Hi,

I can't compile actual kernel
2.4.14
with gcc 2.95.3 and ld 2.11.90.0.29 (GNU)

Compilation ends with follwing messages:

make dep clean
works fine.

Next step
make bzImage

outputs the following:



. scripts/mkversion > .tmpversion

So what's wrong?
I didn't patch the kernel. It's original from ftp.kernel.org, downloaded  
yesterday.
What can I do? Do you need more information about .config?

I also noticed a problem with kernel 2.4.12 concerning ieee1284_ops.c
(IEEE1284_PH_DIR_UNKNOWN should be IEEE1284_PH_ECP_DIR_UNKNOWN)
This seems to be fixed now (2.4.14).

There was also a warning about not to use 2.4.11

Aren't there enough people to test new kernels? Are you releasing too  
often?

Thank's for any helping answers.
