compiling linux kernel 2.4.20 with grsec

[Incognito]

Hi, I am trying to recompile 2.4.20 kernel with the grsec patch. I am having problems making the bzImage.

It gives me these errors, they aren't all the errors related to grsec because its too much for one message.

net/network.o: In function `inet_ioctl':

Does anyone know why? I have compiled grsec before with 2.4.20 kernel many times and I have my suspicious on some of the compiler optimization options.

Does anyone know which compiler options it doesn't work with?

Hi Incognito,

Hi, I am trying to recompile 2.4.20 kernel with the grsec patch. I am having problems making the bzImage.

What grsec version?

looks very unusual.

Well, I think no one knows why because you are missing some important informations about your environment.

1. What grsec version?
2. What compiler?
3. What grsec options?
4. where is your .config?

Does anyone know which compiler options it doesn't work with?

5. _what_ compiler optimizations? Tell us your optimizations you've choosen!

ciao, Marc

Thanks for the reply but apparently compiling the kernel with gcc optimizations doesn't work too well. I was using -O3 loop-unrolling, omit-frame-points and -mfpmath=sse -msse. I decided to use gcc 2.96 redhat release and just compile with the gcc flags in the original Makefile.
