No, I'm having the same problem and I made config first.

No, but I grabbed the 2.4.20 source and had all sorts of other problems.
I'm on a 'testing' system; you too?  I suspect it's the testing gcc which
is causing the problem (from Googling another error I was getting trying
to compile 2.4.20).  Can anyone confirm?
