Compiling problem kernel 2.4.2

[Theodoor Scholte]

Hello,

I have a problem with compiling kernel-2.4.2. When I want to make a bzImage 
on a RedHat Linux 5.2 box,
then I get this error-message:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -02
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -march=i486  -c -o init/main.o
init/main.c
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -02
fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe  -march=i486
-DUTS_MACHINE='"i386"' -c -o init/version.o init/version.c
cpp: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/compile.h: Input/output error
init/version.c:20: `UTS_VERSION' undeclared here (not in a function)
init/version.c:20: initializer element for `system_utsname.version' is not
constant
init/version.c:25: parse error before `LINUX_COMPILE_BY'
make: *** [init/version.o] Error 1

I have installed these software revisions:
GNU C  egcs-2.91.66
GNU make  3.78.1
binutils  2.9.5.0.22-6
util-linux  2.10f
modutils  2.4.2
e2fsprogs  1.19

What is the solution for this problem? On a Slackware 7.1-box with the same 
software-revisions I have no problems with compiling kernel 2.4.2.

Thanks in advance,
