compiling kernel error
well here i am again. i looked at the makefile in /usr/src/drivers/net and
fixed the problem with bsd_comp.o. it turns out if you have kernel support,
it'll try to compiling bsd_comp.o into the kernel, but it says it can only
be compiled as a module, meaning you can't select kernel support for ppp
for some reason. however, i still can't figure out the other problem.
here is the message i get when i do a make zImage:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m386 -c -o init/main.o init/main.c

make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
this happens with both the source pkg from stable and unstable tree, so
i suspect that it's a problem with the library. i have both libc4 and libc5
and libc5-dev from the unstable tree. i can't really install the libc off the
stable tree because it conflicts with libc5-dev, on which the xdevel depends,
on which the xslib depends, etc... solutions? should i put the xslib off the
stable tree? pls help
thanx
