Hm, sounds like some kind GNU assembler glitches. It could be due to
2.6.10 is quite old whereas Fedora 12 is a shiny new distro.
OK, things to check:
1. before you do compilation, have you done "make mrproper" or "make
clean" or "make distclean" to make sure there are no stale object file
from previous compilation(s)?
2. If you do compilation on rather new kernel, say 2.6.29.x on this
Fedora 12, do you get same error?
3. In fedora 12, do you see package that represents kinda older gcc?
IIRC once in older version of Fedora/Redhat, this is named as egcs or
something like that.... If there is one, install it and use it to
compile the kernel and see it works.
