Compiling 2.4.0 with "gcc-2.96"

[Seth Mos <knuffie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If I try to compile the kernel with gcc-2.96-69 (the updated rpm for redhat 
7) it butts out in xfs_bmap.c

This was just a test to checksee if it would compile at all. If someone is 
capable of interpreting what this error means, if it could possibly be 
fixed (for both compilers ofcourse) should it even be a bug.

The kernel compiles fine using 2.91.66 ofcourse. I'm just trying to see 
what a kernel would look like when compiled with "gcc-2.96" ;-)

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 
-fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe 
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686  -Wno-unused  -Wno-parentheses 
-Wno-uninitialized -I. -funsigned-char  -Wno-unknown-pragmas  -c -o
