I am using RedHat Linux 5.9, I was able to compile kernel 2.2.5-ac6 without
any modifications. When I tried compiling kernel 2.2.7 I got this error:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.7/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2

iovec.c: In function `memcpy_toiovec':

iovec.c:92: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make[1]: *** [_subdir_core] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.7/net'

I got the exact same error when I was compiling kernel 2.2.6, yet I'm still
using hte same .config. Anyone have any ideas?
