Re: recompile errors

[Gerry Doris <gdoris home com>]

Thanks for this!  It was the hint I needed.  I couldn't get RH 7.0 to
compile on my laptop due to this error but it would on my desk system.  I
couldn't figger out why.

When I checked I hadn't loaded kgcc on the laptop (only had gcc).  RH put
a line in the 7.0 Makefile that if you don't have kgcc then use
gcc.  Well, it hangs on the checksum.S file everytime.
