Hi folks

When creating the modules (make modules) for my 2.4.7 kernel the compilation
aborts with the following error message. I used the standard Red Hat 7.1
kernel configuration file with only minor modifications.

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.7/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes

I have run the ver_linux script as recommended. Here is the output.

[root@localhost linux]# sh scripts/ver_linux
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
