If you REALLY want to compile kernel 2.4.x with gcc 3.0.3 try Franz Sirl's
patch at:
http://source.mvista.com/pipermail/linuxppc-commit/2001-September/000729.html
Basically you need to edit two files:
/usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/kernel/process.c
Between lines 229 and 230
(i.e. between the lines that read:
#endif /* CONFIG_ALTIVEC */
#endif /* CONFIG_SMP */
)
add the following lines:
current_set[smp_processor_id()] = new;
#else
current_set[0] = new;
Delete line 232 that reads:
current_set[smp_processor_id()] = new;
In the file /usr/src/linux/include/asm-ppc/prom.h
Delete Line 109 that reads:
#define RELOC(x) (*PTRRELOC(&(x)))
and replace it with:
#define RELOC(x) (*({ typeof(x) * __ptr = PTRRELOC(&(x)); __asm__ (""
: "=r" (__ptr) : "0" (__ptr)); __ptr;}))
Now your kernel should compile fine with gcc 3.0.3 AND boot.
