Looks like you're trying to compile an ancient 2.4 kernel with gcc-3.4 or newer. That has zero chance of working.
Since that looks like a RH 2.4.20 kernel, you should probably use gcc-3.2.3 to compile it. Alternatively you can use gcc-3.4 with the current 2.4.31 kernel.
Some 2.6-based distributions do have problems running 2.4 kernels: FC3 needs some minor tweaks (replace udev and module-init-tools with dev and modutils from FC2) but FC4 is a lost cause due to NPTL. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
