Re: anyone compiled 2.2.17 on RH7 successfully?

["Corisen" <csyap@starnet.gov.sg>]

thanks for the info. i've kgcc installed during RH7 installation. i've
checked the version to be 2.91.66. i've used the following 2 methods with
kgcc but it won't even allow me to compile:
1. make CC=kgcc zImage
2. change the CC=gcc to CC=kgcc in Makefile

the "make CC=kgcc zImage" process reports the following error messages:
