Reproducibly?

That means, if you repeated above procedure, would it always
segfault? And if you ran "make bzImage" a second time, would it
segfault again at the same place?

All those in the configs directory. Try this just for fun:

  cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
  make mrproper
  cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config
  make oldconfig
  make dep bzImage modules modules_install install
