As you mentioned, there does seem to be a problem with the makefiles. &nbsp;I have seen a couple of other people mention similar problems. &nbsp;Thanks<br />

I am trying to compile 2.3.39 (latest development kernel), I updated all my libraries to/or above the required levels. &nbsp;I did a make xconfig and set my configuration. &nbsp;I then followed that up with a make dep and finally a make bzImage, which fails with the following error:<br />
<br />
init/main.c:O:malformed option '-D __pentiumpro__-D__pentiump<wbr />ro'<br />
<br />
This occured within seconds of pressing enter -- I don't believe this is normal. &nbsp;Could anyone give me a hint on what went wrong? &nbsp;Thanks NASA<br />
<br />
BTW: &nbsp;my system is based off of Redhat 6.0 and I am using egcs-2.96.66 for a compiler.
