Sorry if this too off-topic, but I'm having trouble compiling a new
kernel. I'm new to kernel compiles, so I thought I'd start big. Here's
what I've got...
Current system:
Digital PWS600au (Miata /PC164-LX/EV56)
RedHat 7.1 with 2.4.9-31 stock alpha-rawhide kernel
I downloaded linux-2.4.18.tar.gz, patch-2.4.19-pre3.gz, and
patch-2.4.19-pre3-ac6.gz
# tar -zxvf linux-2.4.18.tar.gz
# mv linux /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
# mv patch* /usr/src
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18
# gzip -dc ../patch-2.4.19-pre3.gz | patch -p0
# gzip -dc ../patch-2.4.19-pre3-ac6.gz | patch -p0
# make mrproper
# make xconfig
# make dep
# make vmlinux (since this is non-intel, i should use boot or
vmlinux here, right???)
It crunches away for awhile, then stops with the below message and I
don't know how to find out what the error really is.

Any assistance you can give is greatly appreciated.
I've had no luck building the 2.4.18 source rpm from alpha-rawhide. I
did an rpm -ba and it says "no spec file". rpm --recomplie crunches for
a minute and then complains that the alpha architecture is not
included. The latest redhat alpha binary I can find is what I'm
currently using. I've also not found any good documentation that tells
me how to build a kernel from rpm sources - I've checked man rpm,
linuxdoc.org, linuxalpha.org, etc....
