Hi.
I tried to compile the kernel 2.4.3 but the process stops directly with the
following error:
saeanme@sae139c:/mipseb/usr/src/linux> make vmlinux

I downloaded the kernel from
ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/mips/kernel/2.4/src/
and the compiler is the current from ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/
Is this a combination that cannot work?
Any help would be appreciated.
best regards
