Re: compile error with 2.4.1-1

[Richard Black <rblack@algorithmics.com>]

I am running the latest version of woody.  I can compile 2.4.0 no problem.
I ran the following:

make xconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=rblack.1.1 kernel_image

My gcc version is 2.95.3... and all the other packages meet or exceed the
necessary versions given in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes

The line that seems to be causing the problem is:

#define PADDING 22 - 3 * sizeof(long) - sizeof(int)+ sizeof(short) */

especially the use of sizeof in the construct:

#define PADDING 22 + sizeof(short) - 3 * sizeof(long) - sizeof(int)
#if PADDING > 0
 char _f[PADDING];  /* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */
#endif
#undef PADDING

In 2.4.0, this this was not used...rather the single line:

 char _f[20-2*sizeof(long)-sizeof(int)]; /* Padding: libc5 uses this.. */

was used.  I am going to try using this line with similar values to the
above...any idea if this will work?
