benh kernel compile failure

[Thanasis Kinias <tkinias@asu.edu>]

Greetings,

I've been having pretty poor luck with kernel compiles recently...  I'm
working ATM on trying to build 2.4.20 with the benh patch on a stock
Sarge system (an iMac 266).  The compile fails with this:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common
-fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/arch/ppc
-fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized
-mmultiple -mstring   -nostdinc -iwithprefix include
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=ide_cd  -c -o ide-cd.o ide-cd.c
In file included from ide-cd.c:318:
ide-cd.h:440: error: long, short, signed or unsigned used invalidly for
`slot_tablelen'
make[4]: *** [ide-cd.o] Error 1

I haven't seen anything on this in the archives...
