Unable to compile kernel

[Michael Gruetzner <Michael_Gruetzner@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I just downloaded kernel 2.3 from ftp-linux-mips.org. When I try to 
compile it with my cross-compiler I get the following error:

{standard input} error: symbol 'open' is already defined as "*COM*"/4

How can I fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Michael
