Hi Laurent,

I have built the 2.2.16 Linux kernel with RTAI-1.5 without problems. 
Can you send more information.  In particular, some of the output from
the failed build.  What distribution are you based on (e.g RedHat x.x
??).  Also, can you send your kernel .config file and I'll try to see if
I can reproduce the error.
