ok, now I´m a step further (I think), I´ve grabbed fresh kernel-sources,
applied the egcs-patches (from http://www.suse.de/~florian/kernel+egcs.html)
(I´m using gcc 2.95.2), but of course there´s yet-another-problem ;-) :

test -f stamp-configure || make -f /usr/share/kernel-package/rules configure
make   ARCH=i386   \
                    CROSS_COMPILE= bzImage
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.38-clean'

I´ve also tried without the patch, the effect is the same.

If anyone could help me out with this one, I´d be most thankful (I might even
mention http://www.waldner.priv.at/photos/transmeta.JPG which is a nice shot
taken during my vacation last week ;-).

TIA,
