Subject: Problems compiling Linux 0.96a sources with gcc 1.40
Date: 1 Jun 1992 17:29:36 +0200

Hi Linuxers,

I have recently upgraded from linux 0.12 to 0.96a.

I am now having trouble compiling the 0.96a kernel sources. Make gets as
far as the scsi blk drives and then exit out after the following error
messages.
...
seagate.c:In function seagate_st0x_command:
seagate.c:429: unknown name 'esi' in 'asm'
seagate.c:493: unknown name 'esi' in 'asm'
...
and make then exits with an error.

I am using the lastest gcc 1.40. I have uncommented the said line in the
Makefile to use gcc 1.40. What can be wrong ? Have I got the wrong libs/
includes ? Or must I upgrade to gcc 2.x ?

Any help is welcome.

Andre.
