2.5.3 compile failure

Hi,

i got the following error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.3/drivers/base'
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.5.3/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

make[3]: *** [core.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.3/drivers/base'

make[1]: *** [_subdir_base] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.5.3/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

This also happened when i upgraded -pre5 to -pre6. I also checked with a 
freshly downloaded tarball and after
  make mrproper; cp ../.config .; make oldconfig dep bzImage
i got the same error!

thanks,
Rudmer
