RH7.3 Updates - Compile Issues

I had a working RH7.3 system with a stock 2.4.18-3 kernel. "Working"
included previous ability to compile a variety of software successfully,
although I had never compiled a new kernel.

With the intention of compiling a custom kernel I installed the following
software from Red Hat 7.3 Updates as follows:

cpp-2.96-113.i386.rpm
gcc-2.96-113.i386.rpm
gcc-c++-2.96-113.i386.rpm
gcc-chill-2.96-113.i386.rpm
gcc-g77-2.96-113.i386.rpm
libstdc++-2.96-113.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-2.96-113.i386.rpm
binutils-2.11.93.0.2-11.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.5-42.i386.rpm
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16.i386.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm

Unable to compile kernel, with the error messages below. Carefully went thru
.config file, reran after make clean/mrproper, etc. Make dep looks OK, but ...

#make bzImage
etc, etc, then ....

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.7.x/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4 -nostdinc -I
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=serial
-DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c serial.c

make[3]: *** [serial.o] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.7.x/drivers/char'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.7.x/drivers/char'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_char] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.7.x/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

I then did some further testing and found I was unable to compile some
software that previously compiled successfully. Ideas appreciated ..

Pls cc me personally on responses ... thx, Randy
