Compiling the kernel

[Ken Krauter]

I have pretty extensive experience compiling Linux kernels on Intel.  
However, I cannot seem to
get it done on my PPC/PowerBook.  I have set up to compile the 
YellowDog kernel exactly using
make xconfig and loading the saved configuration from the configs 
subdirectory.  Making bzImage
(or for that matter zImage as well) goes without a hitch.  However 
making the modules leads to
a slew of syntax errors in standard header files (mismatched arguments, 
missing definitions etc).
Can someone who has compiled under ppc just post the string of commands 
that worked?  Is there
a definition somewhere I am forgetting?

1)  make mrproper
2) make xconfig - load Yellowdog config file from files - no other 
changes)
3) make bzImage
4) make modules (all hell breaks loose......)

I just tried the same sequence on my Intel machine running Red Hat 8 
and it works just fine except for
the yellow dog config part.
