[ILUG] -Q: Reconfiguring kernel 2.2.16-22

[Tom Suzuki]

Hello,

Would anyone please help me with rebuilding 2.2.16-22 of RedHat Linux 7?

When building kernel, an error occurred as below:

make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__
-traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o
checksum.S:231: badly punctuate parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuate parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2
[root: 115#]

Looking at the code in vi,

227  #define SRC(y...) \
228          9999: y; \
229          .section __ex_table, "a"; \
230          .long 9999b, 6001f; \
231          .previous
232
233  #define DST(y...) \
234          9999: y; \
235          .section __ex_table, "a"; \
236          .long 9999b, 6002f; \
237          .previous

Does anyone know what to do to overcome this problem around these define macros 
made up of assembler statements? It seems that the dot is not liked and I tried 
putting brackets in vain.


Thank you in advance,

Tom
