Hello
I was trying to compile the kernel 2.6.12. The command "make O=/build
menuconfig" executed successfully. However I am getting the following
error on executing "make O=/build":
operand type mismatch for `mov'
I am a student and I particularly wanted to compile this version
because there are few patches coded for this version I need to study
them and may be extend them. Can anyone please help me with this one?

2.6.12 is a very old kernel and probably wont even build with the latest
toolchains, as now the tool chains will error on things that it use to
let by back then.
You'll probably want to try and find a version of a distro from 2005 and
install that on a machine. Then you could build the 2.6.12 kernel on
that distro. You may need to also find a machine from 2005 as well.
Good luck,
