2.4.20-pre9: kbuild strangeness

[Frederik Nosi]

I followed the usual steps:

patched the kernel to 2.4.20-p9
make mrproper, make oldconfig, make dep, make bzImage, make modules

During kernel/modules building I get no errors, only this warnings:

agpgart_be.c: In function `agp_generic_create_gatt_table':
agpgart_be.c:591: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

During make modules_install I get this:

Hope this is useful.
