[ILUG] can't build 2.2.19...

[kevin lyda]

ok, this is pissing me off.  i can't build kernel 2.2.19 - it's from
the redhat source rpm (kernel-source-2.2.19-6.2.7).  yes, i could go
download the kernel from kernel.org, but the last time i built that it
failed too.  so, any ideas on what's happening here - the compiler isn't
even generating a sensible error:

    cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.19/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux-2.2.19/include/linux/modversions.h   -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c loop.c
    In file included from loop.c:46:

gcc version:
[root at inle linux]# gcc -v
