This compiler is not supported for compiling 2.4 kernels.  Please use
gcc 2.95 or gcc 3.2.

I too am trying to get a new 2.4.20 kernel built.  My first try was with
3.2, which complained about stdarg.h not being found.  Now I'm trying with
3.3 and seeing the same error.  Is 2.95 really the only other option?

gcc-3.2 should work.  The 2.4.20-3 images currently in incoming were built
using gcc-3.2.

A missing stdarg.h is usually an indication of a broken gcc install.

It's a brand-new installation.  The stdarg.h file is present.  *shrug*

I used 2.95, and that worked.

Can you try gcc 3.2 from testing?

Not soon and no promises, but yes, I'll try to try.  :-)
