Hi Juan,
I'm trying to get the kernel to compile on the alpha (yet again).
Until now I've encountered the following:
2.4.13-1mdk stops compiling:
http://cm61-10-20-87.hkcable.com.hk/build/cooker/i586/problem/ksetiwatch-2.2.2-4mdk.src.rpm.txt

I've fixed this by modifying the alpha .config files:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SERVICE is not set
Now I'm bumping into this:
/usr/bin/gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/users/stefan/RPM/BUILD/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mno-fp-regs -ffixed-8 -mcpu=ev5 -Wa,-mev6 -c -o time.o time.c
time.c: In function `validate_cc_value':
time.c:213: parse error before `return'
make[1]: *** [time.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/users/stefan/RPM/BUILD/linux/arch/alpha/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /users/stefan/tmp/rpm-tmp.22295 (%build)
It's caused by the 2.4.13-ac2 patch. There seems to be an alpha build fix in -ac3. I'll w8 until that one is in the mdk kernel.
