This is my first post to this list, so please bear with me if this has
been brought up before.
I'm trying to compile the linux-3.11 kernel, but get a bunch of error
messages in the boot/compressed directory. I'm using gcc-2.7.0,
libc-5.0.9, and binutils-2.5.2l.17. I've enclosed the error messages
below. Probably I've just been stupid somewhere along the way, but I'd
really appreciate it if some knowlable person could help me out.
