Hi,
I am using lfs which runs kernel 2.6.34, gcc 4.1.2 and ld 2.17. For
some purposes, I want to compile the 2.6.11 kernel source. After doing
some configuration, I did make which issues many warnings or error
messages. For some of them:
... ... ...

make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
I think it is no problem to use newer compiler to compile older
kernels. But, it seems that this is not really the case. To compile
the 2.6.11 kernel, what do I need to adjust my system?
