Well, it compiles them, but I get an oops on booting 2.4.17-pre8, for
example, almost immediately after init is launched.  "gcc version 2.96
20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-101.9)" works fine.

The output of ksymoops is below, there were two oopses actually.  Since
the oopses occurred just after init started, and I don't have an initrd, I
believe there were no modules loaded.  I captured the oopses via the line
printer console and had to type them back in.  Too bad there is no floppy
disk console.  I did double check my typing, but the standard disclaimers
apply.

Cheers,
Wayne
