What host system are you running? Are you sure your  native  compiler
is working?

Which kernel tree is this? How did you configure the kernel? What  is
the _exact_ sequence of commands you are using?

You are wrong. This is one of the source files  which  gets  compiled
using the host's native compiler; the Makefile has this rule for it:

	conmakehash: conmakehash.c
		$(HOSTCC) $(HOSTCFLAGS) -o conmakehash conmakehash.c

Obviously your hostcompiler (gcc) and/or  you  host's  binutils  have
some problems. This is not a problem with the ELDK.
