Problems compiling 2.4.9 on SS5

Dear List,

I am trying to copile 2.4.9 on ss5 (see cpu details below) with a
straight 7.3 install from ftp.suse.com and I encounter the following
errors. It is not clear to me the cuuse or if these can be avoided by
changing the configuration, any advice would be appreciated.
