Hello, I am at the current development patch level for the kernel. However at
work I am trying to rebuild a kernel for v1.2.13. Everything seems to compile
fine until it gets to the stage of building vmlinux. I get the following errors.

I have not been able to determine what the problem is. I think it might be
my version of binutils. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing these
problems.
