2.4.21-pre5/7 fails to compile

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi !

 I got some weird problems to compile linux 2.4.21 pre 5 and pre 7.

 Both fail at the same point of code:

 gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.21p7/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon   -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=mmx  -c -o mmx.o mmx.c
