Hello,

since kernel-version 2.4.1 I am not able to compile the kernel for my
system (currently I run version 2.4.0). This is in my point of view due
to a not included function but since i do not know if this is correct I
send the output of the linking part of the kernel:

-- start output --
ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.3/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

compiling of the needed .o files did not give any errors.
