I'm trying to compile iptables-1.2.7a related changes into the stock Redhat 2.4.18-14 kernel. I've done this with no trouble on my 7.3 machines. I'm getting some strange segfaults at random points in the 'make modules' process. BzImage compiles just fine. I did 2 separate compile attempts. Before applying the Patch-o-matic changes to the kernel (a part of the iptables source code distribution), I verified the md5sums of the tarball I downloaded from the Netfilter web site and the digital signature provided by the Netfilter Core Team. The kernel source is from the Red Hat kernel-source rpm supplied on the downloaded CD's for 8.0. I did a 'make mrproper' prior to 'make menuconfig'. In 'make menuconfig', I selected Pentium 4 as the processor type. The kernel build is being done on a machine with a Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghz CPU. I wonder if gcc 3.2 has a processor dependency? The first 'make modules' build didn't get very far along and ended with this error: [bcochran@bobcp4 bcochran]$ cat moderrors1.short firestream.c:2114: warning: concatenation of string literals with __FUNCTION__ is deprecated firestream.c: At top level: firestream.c:2124: internal error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

When I got to 'make modules' the process went much further along, generating nearly 5000 lines of warning output to the error file, but finally came to a screeching halt with his error: [bcochran@bobcp4 bcochran]$ cat moderrors2.short journal.c:1653: warning: concatenation of string literals with __FUNCTION__ is deprecated nfs3proc.c:48:1: warning: "rpc_call_sync" redefined In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux/modversions.h:264, from <command line>:1: /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux/modules/sunrpc_syms.ver:38:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definitionnls_iso8859-15.c: In function `init_nls_iso8859_15': nls_iso8859-15.c:297: internal error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
