What compiler version are you using?

gcc --version

I had problems trying to compile the debian kernel-source-2.4.20 using
gcc-3.3 (aparently gcc-3.2 works though) on woody/sarge mix

In the end I installed gcc-2.95 and then created a symlink from
/usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-2.95

It built and install perfectly, I'm not sure if I enabled reiserfs, but I
just adapted an old config of mine for debian.
