Subject: problem compiling 2.5.30

Hi, sorry if this popped up before. It is a redhat 7.3 box, gcc 2.96.
this happens when I include devfs into the kernel.

See below:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/fs/partitions'
gcc -Wp,-MD,./.check.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.30/include

Thanks,

Courtesy of a nice typo... this should fix it (not tested however).
