I just tried to compile kernel 2.1.91 (patched from 2.1.88), and I got the
following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.1/arch/i386/kernel'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -traditional -c head.S

AMD K6/200 64MB RAM (32 SDRAM, 32 72pin EDO)
gcc version 2.7.2.3
GNU ld version cygnus-2.8.1 (with BFD linux-2.8.1.0.15)
glibc 2.0.6
Redhat 5.0

I enabled Pentium Pro/K6/PII cpu type.

If you need anything else, please let me know. If this bug has been
reported like a million times, please forgive me, for I subscribe to the
Digest list only, and since the compile urged "Please report this bug" I
figgured it wasn't kidding.
