FYI,
Since Slackware went to gcc-3.2.2 with the release of 9.0, I have been
successfully building recent 2.4 kernels without any problems.
You guys probably already know this, but coming from another user.. It
works for me.
Just did not occur to me that this may be my problem when compiling a
2.5 kernel until I read what I wrote you ;)
Arch: i686, Pentium III Coppermine
