tlug: compiler

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

In grappling with the tape drive issue, I tried to 
install ftape on another linux machine to make tests. 
However, something seems to be wrong with the compiler. 
I found that not only couldn't I compile ftape, I couldn't 
make a new kernel either. I tried make mrproper, tried 
reinstalling the kernel-headers and kernel-source (from 
rpm) and tried working from various .config files 
that I had saved from previous kernel building experiments. 
Something like the below error ocurred each time. 
Perhaps something has happened to my compiler? 


gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2
-malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=586   -c -o tty_ioctl.o
