when attempting to run
make zImage
under kernel 2.4.9 (after make mrproper, make menuconfig, and make dep, all
of which ran fine), I get this error:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.9/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common

when in vi, I did a search on kbd_rate, and sure enough, it's used in a
switch before it's been defined:
/* Linux m68k/i386 interface for setting the keyboard delay/repeat rate
*/
case KDKBDREP:
{
struct kbd_repeat kbrep;
if (!kbd_rate) return( -EINVAL );
/* stuff snipped */
Has anyone successfully gotten 2.4.9 to compile on PPC (YDL, specifically),
and if so, how did you get around this? (it did the same thing when I did a
make vmlinux).
