CVS v1.0 kernel won't compile

This is strange.
I'm running Mandrake 8.0, with a patched Mandrake kernel to get XFS. And
yes, XFS is working, but not without problems. So I thought I'd grab the
1.0 tree off CVS and compile it to see if another anoying problem would
go away.

What I did:

CVS: Got the 1.0 release cvs tree.

Copy .config to .../linux
# > make oldconfig
# > make dep
# > make bzImage

Errors out at:

gcc -V egcs-2.91.66 -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__KERNEL__
-I/usr/src/linux/include  -traditional
-c head.S -o head.o
head.S:203: unterminated character constant
make[1]: *** [head.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/linux-2.4-xfs-r1.0/linux/arch/i386/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2

So, back to cvs, ran cvs -z3 update -d (to get the latest bits).

ran:
# > cp .config ..
# > make mrproper
# > cp ../.config .
# > make oldconfig
# > make dep
# > make bzImage

Build dies with same error as before.

Solutions? Anyone?

        Thanks in advance!
