Hi.  I get the following errors when trying to compile the kernel
2.5.21:

Any assistance would be appreciated.

  gcc -Wp,-MD,.fork.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.21/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -malign-functions=4  -nostdinc -iwithprefix include    -DKBUILD_BASENAME=fork   -c -o fork.o fork.c
