I have r4 compiled with gcc-3.4.6 but after upgrading to gcc4.1.1 and recompiling whole system several times even r4 fails, which it didn't do before. So hard for me to say if this is a gentoo-sources or gcc4.1.1 bug but among all ebuilds this is the only one that errors. This is the procedure I have followed: merc ~ # cp /usr/src/linux/.config /usr/src/linux-2.4.32-gentoo-r6/.config merc ~ # cd /usr/src/ merc src # rm linux merc src # ln -s linux-2.4.32-gentoo-r6 linux merc src # cd linux merc linux # make oldconfig merc linux # make menuconfig merc linux # make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install and here is the later part of output ending with the error: /usr/src/linux-2.4.32-gentoo-r6/include/linux/ncp.h:174: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type '__u8' In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.32-gentoo-r6/include/asm/smp.h:17, from init/main.c:74: /usr/src/linux-2.4.32-gentoo-r6/include/asm/mpspec.h:87: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'unsigned char[5u]' make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 I would like to upgrade to 2.6 sources but before doing this I like to have an up-to-date system. /Joakim
2.4 series kernels have zero support for gcc-4. You must use gcc-3 (or use newish 2.6 kernels which will work fine with gcc-4).
