RE: v.11 redhat compiling errors

The compiler I'm using is 3.2.2 but I tried it with 2.96 and had the same
result.  However...I DID get it to build when I built a new kernel with a
different .config.  My own config didn't work, but the standard redhat one
did.

I built my own .config to have most modules static (including USB support)
but I went through and turned off everything I thought I even MIGHT not
need.  Something that I turned off is required to be there for at76c503 to
compile.

I'm about to start going through the config file one entry at a time to try
to figure out what it is ... unless somebody can give me some hints, like
what modules need to be there and does it matter if they are statically
linked into the kernel.

no idea, KERNEL_HEADERS is derived from KERNEL_SRC:
+ KERNEL_SRC = /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/build
+ KERNEL_HEADERS = $(KERNEL_SRC)/include

Did you set KERNEL_SRC manually to /usr/src/linux-2.4 in the Makefile ?
Which gcc version do you run and what is line 60 in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/build/include/linux/kernel.h ?
