Hi,
I think you can take a look at the following web page.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-02/msg00054.html
From my own experience, I think the kernel compilation complains less
when you try to match the version of the tools as closely as possible
to what the Document specifies.
Therefore, gcc-4 must be quite new compared the kernel version that you use.
HTH.

Hi all,
I install FC4 today, and I want to compile a clean kernel. I compile
linux kernel 2.6.11 in FC4.
Gcc version is 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8)
Kernel is 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
And I got a error in include/linux/i2c.h
include/linux/i2c.h:58: error: array type has incomplete element type
include/linux/i2c.h:197: error: array type has incomplete element type
Now I have got the problem.
example code:
struct str_temp;
struct str_temp first;
struct str_temp second[2];
struct str_temp {
char cha;
int ib;
};
main(){
return;
}
when you compile these code in gcc 4.0, you would get a error.
but if you remove the array definition(struct str_temp second[2];),
the error would go away.
So, what's the problem?
why gcc 4.0 produce this error?
Thanks a lot. Forgive my poor english expression.
Derry
