Problem compiling RTLinux kernel

[David.Hamilton@jet.uk (David Hamilton)]

Hello,
I've downloaded several versions of RTLinux (2.2 and 3.0) and followed the
installations carefully.
However, the 'make bzImage' compilation always breaks down at file
checksum.S

error message
checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define

These lines are Macro definitions in an assembler file, and I've no idea
what could be wrong with them.

My compiler is gcc version 2.96 20000731
on Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81, Kernel 2.4.2
The processor is an AMD K6.

Whats going on? Surely, many people have compiled this successfully on
similar machines.

Please help,
David
