1. This is a mailing list used to discuss Linux on 64-bit PowerPC,
not 32-bit x86.

2. Your email indicated that you're trying to build something in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8, either you're picking bad names for your source
trees, or you are posting misleading information.

3. That being said, 2.6.7 is by now a very old kernel and you are unlikely
to find anyone willing to help you with it. Chances would be better for
2.6.14 or so, if the same problem even still exists.

4. See http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/ for basic information on how to
build a kernel, and other information on kernelnewbies.org for pointers
at where to go for help. This list is the wrong place.
