Subject: Linux-2.5.71 kernel compile error

Team,

I got failure on compiling the kernel in one of SuperMicro signle CPU system. It has a Linux 2.4.2 on it.
The message is "Unknown Pseudo-op: '.incbin'"

The file brings the trouble is arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall.S.

I think it must be a configuration problem but don't know which one is causing the trouble. I am using menuconfig to change the configuration.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

Eddie

As per Documentation/Changes ld -v shall say at least: 2.12

You need to upgrade your binutils.
