[ILUG] compiling ancient kernels

[Stephen Shirley]

Mornin' all,
	I'm trying to compile kernel 1.2.13 for a 386 i have at home. The
build machine i'm using is a p166 running slackware 8.1. The problem i'm
having is when i run 'make zImage', i get the following errors:

diamond at derek:~/kernel/linux$ make zImage
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/diamond/kernel/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m386  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

Anyone got any suggestions? Do i need to switch to an older version of gcc?
