well, I just grabbed the 2.2.25 kernel, made a config using the
defaults, only enabled SMP, but got many warnings from the dep stage,
and the compile of the kernel bombs out immediately

This is on a SS20 (sparc32):

$ cd /usr/src/linux # the 2.2.25 tree
$ make mrproper

blur removed

$ make CC=kgcc HOSTCC=kgcc config

blur removed, just enabled SMP, the rest was default

$ make CC=kgcc HOSTCC=kgcc dep

lots of blur removed

$ make CC=kgcc HOSTCC=kgcc vmlinux >& build.log

hmm, bombs out right away:

kgcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/split-include scripts/split-include.c
scripts/split-include include/linux/autoconf.h include/config
kgcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -m32 -pipe -mno-fpu -fcall-used-g5 -fcall-used-g7  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

Something is *very* wrong here... What have I missed?
