I hate to be contrary, but I have had no problems compiling 2.0.33 here using egcs-1.0.3:
Linux version 2.0.33 (root@malchick) (gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)) #24 Thu May 28 01:54:31 PDT 1998
I get a LOT of warnings generated during the compile, but it works. =-)
I haven't tried the pre2.0.34's yet, though... I was just basically waiting on it to be released before trying it out. If something like the above suggestion was added, it would greatly irritate me that I would have to comment that out to get a kernel to compile here. =-\
Sincerely, Jimmie Farmer
