parse error on compiling a 2.4.9 kernel

parse error on compiling a 2.4.9 kernel

[james bond]

so hello all , and thank's for leeding me to format my windobe :)
the problem is verry simple
when i configure my kernel i select ntfs support and then i launch a 
compiling process "make dep , make clean , make bzImage "
and then i have this message :

----------------------------------------------------------------------

unistr.c: In function `ntfs_collate_names':
unistr.c:99: warning: implicit declaration of function `min'
unistr.c:99: parse error before `unsigned'

make[1]: *** [_subdir_ntfs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/fs'
make: *** [_dir_fs] Error 2


----------------------------------------------------------------------
when i désélect ntfs every thing is ok ,
i m using a slack 8.0
and have gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
i think that there is no need of any cat /proc/cpuinfo

now i m using a linux 2.4.7 and every thing is ok
thank's for answering
sorry for my poor english

electonicaly yours



----------------------------------------------------------------------
i have a dream , that one day every computer gona be under linux

Yeah, it's a known problem.  Simply add the following line to unistr.c

  #include <linux/kernel.h>
