Is gcc-4.0.1 now the minimum required to compile the kernel?
Thanks!

A patch went in to remove support for GCC 3.1, but as far as I know, 3.2
should be a supported compiler.
At any rate, this might be a binutils issue. What version of binutils are you
using?

This looks more like some local problem. Are you sure you didn't run out of
disk space or similar? When you rerun make what error do you see?

3.2 should work. Only 2.xx support was dropped.

It's a binutils problem.
As Scott mentioned, upgrading from
GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.18 20030121
to
GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927
solves it.
But it's still not clear what change in 2.6.20 required the upgrade.
Thanks!
