Trouble in building module SpeedTouch (for ADSL modem)

[René Bourion]

Hello!

I have an ADSL connection that works well on my iMac running Mac OS 9, using
a modem called Alcatel SpeedTouch. I now want the same service with YDL 2.3.
There is a detailed Howto for installing it on Linux, which I am trying to
follow.

I have come upon a snag in building the SpeedTouch module. Here is the
message:

[root@localhost SpeedTouch]# cd /opt/SpeedTouch
[root@localhost SpeedTouch]# make
gcc -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes  -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-fno-strength-reduce -DCPU=686 -march=i686 -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__
-DLINUX 
-I/usr/src/linux/include/ -I../sarlib// -c
speedtouch.c -o speedtouch.o
cc1: Invalid option `arch=i686'
In file included from speedtouch.c:13:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/malloc.h:4: warning: #warning linux/malloc.h is
deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead.
make: *** [speedtouch.o] Error 1
[root@localhost SpeedTouch]#

One would think that the references to "686" are not correct for the
PowerPC; I therefore tried to replace them with "ppc" or something like that
in the makefile, but I did not succeed.
 
Could someone suggest the right way to correct the makefile in order to make
the thing work? I should be most grateful.

R.B.

(I include below a full copy of the makefile)
