My opinion is that you have a lot to learn about reporting bugs. I'd
recommend reading "info gcc bugs reporting" (the gcc manual's "How to Report
Bugs" section). Crucial information that you're not supplying includes, but
is not necessarily limited to:
- The _literal_ error message you get, including relevant context.
- Was the _exact same_ .config used for on woody as on Mandrake?
- What are the relevant .config settings / what .config did you use?
- What was the _exact_ sequence of commands you used to build the kernel
on woody? (Forgetting "make dep" or "make clean" in an older tree that
was patched up can cause tricky problems)
- Did you start with a freshly unpacked 2.4.16 tree?
